What Village of Valley Stream does

The Incorporated Village of Valley Stream is a municipal government entity organized under New York State Village Law, serving residents and businesses within its boundaries in Nassau County, Long Island, New York. It provides a comprehensive suite of local government services, including public safety coordination, fire prevention, emergency management, sanitation and recycling (with a dedicated facility at 175 Arlington Ave), DPW and highway maintenance, building inspection and permitting, a Village Justice Court, licensing (dog, mercantile, parking), tax administration, parks, recreation programming, a municipal pool, a community center, a dog park, senior services, and youth programming (Camp Barrett). The organization employs 11–50 staff and is governed by an elected Mayor (Edwin A. Fare), Deputy Mayor, Board of Trustees, Village Justice, and Village Clerk, with no parent company, venture capital, or private equity ownership.

The village's digital delivery platform is centered on valleystreamny.gov and integrates multiple self-serve modules: ViewPointCloud for building permits, OpenGov for parking permits, DaySmart Recreation for program registration, GovPayNow and ParkingTicketAssist for court and parking ticket payments, and TextMyGov for SMS-based resident engagement via keyword commands to 516-518-3332. Residents are also served through Village Hall in-person services, a multi-extension phone directory routing system, email alerts, YouTube meeting recordings, and active Facebook and Instagram channels. Marketing and community engagement are driven by the Village Green newsletter, seasonal recreation guides, and recurring community events such as the fireworks celebration and the Friday Nights on Rockaway classic car show series.

Revenue is generated across four primary streams: annual property taxes due June 1 (penalty-free through July 1) as the principal funding mechanism; licenses and permits including dog licenses ($10/$18), mercantile permits ($375 for 5 years), building permits, and parking permits; sanitation and disposal tipping fees ($140 per ton for household/construction, $120 per ton for concrete/agricultural); and court fines from traffic, parking, and housing violations. Supplementary revenue comes from recreation and pool memberships, dog park memberships ($22–$125 annually depending on residency tier), and event ticket sales. The entity is designated a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation, recognizing its commitment to tree preservation and urban forestry.
