The practical side of living in North Bellmore: the parks, the commute, where to eat, and the taxes and permits every owner deals with.
Parks and the library
Newbridge Road Park at 2600 Newbridge Road has an indoor ice rink, outdoor pools, a dog park and tennis. The North Bellmore Public Library is at 1551 Newbridge Road.
Getting around
The Southern State Parkway has exits at Newbridge Road (Route 106) and Bellmore Road. For the train, the Bellmore and Merrick stations on the LIRR's Babylon Branch are a short drive south; check MTA schedules.
A favorite
Rosa's Pizza on Jerusalem Avenue is one of my regular stops.
Schools
North Bellmore is served by the North Bellmore Union Free School District and the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District for grades 7 to 12. District lines don't follow hamlet or ZIP lines, so check the district for any specific address.
Taxes
The Town of Hempstead Receiver of Taxes collects school, county and town property taxes. General taxes are due in halves on January 1 and July 1 (payable without penalty through February 10 and August 10); school taxes are due October 1 and April 1 (through November 10 and May 10). See the tax payment schedule. To challenge an assessment, file a grievance with Nassau County's Assessment Review Commission; the next filing window runs January 4 to March 1, 2027.
Permits and flood zones
Building permits come from the Town of Hempstead Building Department, which also has floodplain managers on staff. Flood zones can change from one block to the next near the water, so look up any address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before you make an offer.
