Frequently Asked Questions
The confidential income and expense data collected in the ASIE is used to improve assessed values of all properties similar to yours. Your ASIE income and expense data is never used directly to value your property. Your data is added to all the data collected from the ASIE plus the data the Department of Assessment maintains on the physical attributes of all commercial properties to enrich statistical studies used to value all types of commercial property across Nassau County.

This is analogous to depreciation of equipment on a tax return. For the purposes of the ASIE reserves for replacement represents the amortized cost of short-lived building components that will wear out before the building, for example: a new roof, resurfacing a parking lot, replacement of HVAC systems, upgrading network connectivity. If you replaced a roof for $20,000, and you anticipate it has a 15-year life, then 20,000 divided 15 = $1,333 (rounded) is the figure you 'd put in the reserves for replacement. Try to remember that figure for use in future ASIEs. Do not include painting, tape and spackle, changing of locks, new light fixtures, or any routine maintenance items in the reserve for replacement.
Your mortgage expense is the product of negotiation between you and your lender. It is not a reflection of your property's ability to earn income, nor is it an expense generated by the condition, location, age, maintenance or quality of the improvements.
A contiguous lot is a lot adjacent or in proximity to the Primary Lot you started your filing with. A contiguous lot is part of the same real estate business entity and possesses an interdependent relationship with the primary lot such that both lots are more valuable because of that relationship. Examples would be: A lot line running through an office building, a retail establishment on one lot, and it's parking lot on an adjacent lot, an industrial building with employee parking on a lot across the street. Please put in all the lots associated with that particular real estate business.

Lease Types
A triple net lease (NNN) is a lease agreement on a property whereby the tenant or lessee promises to pay all the expenses of the property, including real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance. These expenses are in addition to the cost of rent and utilities.
A Gross lease is a lease agreement whereby the landlord or lessor agrees to pay all the expenses of the property.
A land lease is a lease agreement where the landlord or lessor rents only the land. These are typically long-term leases, and the tenant constructs an improvement upon the land. At the termination of the agreement the landlord takes possession of the improvements. All expenses associated with the real estate are the responsibility of the tenant.
Double Net and Net leases are lease agreements on a property, somewhere between triple net and gross leases. Tenants, or lessee, agree to pay one or more of the following: real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance. The remaining expense(s) the tenant doesn't pay is the responsibility of the landlord, or Lessor. The tenant is still responsible for the cost of rent and utilities.
