According to the Census Bureau's online address search function, 56 Todd Road is in the Village of Valley Stream and in the Valley Stream Union Free School District no. 13.
The geography of the Village of Valley Stream can be very confusing because about half the places with a "Valley Stream, NY 11580 & 11581" mailing address (4,309 acres) are not in the Village of Valley Stream (2,258 acres).

Places that have a "Valley Stream, NY 11580 or 11581" mailing address that are not in the Village of Valley Stream are in the Hamlet of North Valley Stream, the Hamlet of Franklin Square, the Village of Malverne, the Hamlet of South Valley Stream and the Hamlet of Woodmere; and, at the same time, there are places in the Village of Valley Stream with a "Hewlett, NY 11557" mailing address.

If you are determined to build and rent a basement apartment, I would advise you not to buy this house, because it is in the Village of Valley Stream. I am 99% certain it will not be approved. If you don't believe me, when you call the Village and ask about the taxes, bring up the subject of installing an apartment in your basement. If you buy the house and build one anyway and are caught, there will be repurcussions.
If you need to know the real estate taxes, why didn't the realtor you are working with simply tell you what they are? That's part of their job to know these things when they are out there selling houses. The selling realtor usually does the research when listing a house and at least finds "approximate" or "last known" real estate taxes and makes that available to any other realtor showing the house.

Thanks for your replies. I am not planning to break any laws and install a new basement apartment, but just want to find out everything regarding my new purchase.

North Valley Stream is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where none of the places in the community have the community name in their mailing address: places in the Hamlet of North Valley Stream have a "Valley Stream, NY 11580" and "Elmont, NY 11003" mailing address.

VS is the absolute worst when it comes to violation of private property rights and other issues of building code BS. It's simply not a good place to buy a house if you plan on ever doing anything in that house. They even recently proposed requiring permits to have a dumpster in your own driveway.
