Hi All,
What does the county use to assess -- is it square footage, number of rooms, lot size, or what?
...
Frighteningly, Zillow provides a tax history of the house and it has had the same assessment for the past several years, but the tax burden has gone up about 12 percent a year for the past 5 years.
Information provided by Zillow is quite often inaccurate. This listing is no exception. Use Nassau County Land Record Viewer for a detailed break down of tax rates, exemptions, assessment roll data, tax and sales history, etc. Read the disclaimer though

We were looking for the same criteria when wanted to buy in Lynbrook. It took us several months of working with our real estate agent to find a listing that worked for us. You have to work fast because some of the homes that we liked accepted offers so quickly, we couldn't even schedule an appointment to see it yet. But don't get discouraged, we like living in Lynbrook and it was worth the wait to hold out for a home that was within walking distance to the LIRR!
Some of the factors that I believe affect the taxes are number of bathrooms, decks/extensions, how big the driveways are, number of bathrooms, central air conditioning, being adjacent to a road that has 2 sold yellow lines in the middle, being adjacent/across from a commercial property, and being adjacent/across from LIRR.
Good luck with everything and hope you find your future home in Lynbrook
OP also remember to consider whether the taxes listed do or do not reflect the STAR exemption, and possibly any enhanced STAR exemptions (senior, veteran).
