New
Construction
 |
| |
 |
New construction is assessable if it adds value to the property and
is not considered normal maintenance or repair. For example, repairing
or replacing an existing roof, fixture or appliance will not affect
your taxable value.
|
| |
 |
New improvements, such as room additions, patio covers, pools, spas,
decks, sunrooms and flatwork, may increase your taxable value.
|
| |
|
Remodeling work is not generally assessable unless it adds new square
footage to an improvement. Remodeling is primarily cosmetic and can
include new carpeting, countertops, cabinets or windows. While remodeling
work usually improves a building's appearance, it does not change
the effective age of the building.
|
| |
|
On
the other hand, rehabilitation work is more structural in nature and
is usually assessable. It may involve substantial changes to the plumbing
system, electrical system, framing or foundation and can extend the
usable life (effective age) of a building.
|
| |
|
New
construction that adds value to the property will generate a one-time
supplemental assessment that represents the market value of the new
improvements. |
