Permitting will alert the county/township that you are adding an outbuilding to your property and it will incur "value" to your residence and possibly a reassessment. Speak to you county assessor department to get clarification on how this calculation is based and may be an estimate of what to expect in incensement.

It sounds like to are buying a "portable" building. Meaning it not attached to a foundation rather a pad or just sitting on the ground. Sheds sold at Home Depot and Lowe's are taxable as would be a Morton Building or pole barn. Property taxes are based on the size of the building and what you are adding to it. Electric, water, heat, ac etc will all contribute to the value the town places on the building.

Should I replace my hollow doors?
My house was built in 1934 but someone replaced all the the interior doors with hollow ones, not solid wood. It seems weird in this historic house. Is it worth my money to replace them all before selling? - Rick

What updates are worth it?
We're thinking of selling our condo. There are some things that are outdated or that could be updated. We don't want to waste our money on things that don't matter, but also want our condo to sell for the best possible price. So, what updates are worthwhile?
