What Nassau County asks of your paperwork, and what BuilderVP does with it.
Your license
Nassau County's Department of Consumer Affairs licenses home improvement contractors, and every licensed home improvement contractor is fingerprinted.
Source: Nassau Consumer Affairs
In BuilderVPYour Nassau license number goes in Settings once and prints on every contract.
Sales tax
Nassau jobs are taxed at 8.625% under reporting code 2811, which includes the commuter district tax.
Sources: Publication 718, Form ST-124
In BuilderVPThe rate comes from the job's ZIP code. On a capital improvement, BuilderVP makes the ST-124 from the signed contract instead.
Permits
Building permits come from the town, city or village the job is in: the Town of Hempstead, North Hempstead or Oyster Bay, the City of Glen Cove or Long Beach, or the incorporated village. The county points homeowners to them.
