A room addition or major remodeling construction project in Orange County Ca can effect your taxes, but not as much as you might think.
People sometimes aren’t aware that property tax changes take place when you do a home improvement project like this. If you add over 500 square feet you’re going to have to pay more in property taxes. However, usually it’s not very much. And it certainly isn’t as much or near as much as buying a new home or a larger home. Your tax base usually goes way up when you do something like that.
However to add a kitchen or even add a big two-story project…a bedroom or family room, the property taxes usually don’t go up very much at all. We have to provide the government with proper plans and the information about what you’re doing when we get the permit. Then they usually send you out something, a questionnaire or so on, on what you’re doing, to be able to raise your property taxes. But like I said, it’s not something that’s a lot of money.
