Do new windows increase property taxes?

• <div><p>Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. </p></div>

Does your yard affect an appraisal?

• <div><p>The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-hurts-home-appraisal.htm">hurt your home’s appraisal</a>. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.</p></div>

Q: Does a tennis court add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, a tennis court can potentially add significant value to your home. The increase can be anywhere from <b>$20,000 to $150,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: Do basement bedrooms count on an appraisal?

• <div><p>Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they&rsquo;re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn&rsquo;t a legal living space won&rsquo;t affect your appraisal value.</p></div>

Q: How long does an FHA appraisal take?

• <div><p>Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser&rsquo;s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser&rsquo;s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.</p></div>
