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>

Q: Does a flagpole increase property value?

• <div><p>Installing a flagpole can improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You&rsquo;ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/helpful-tips-pruning-trees.htm">trimming trees</a> away from the new lawn addition.</p></div>

Q: Are appraisals required for selling a property?

• <div><p>Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.</p></div>

Q: How long does the appraisal process usually take?

• <div><p>Around 1-2 weeks, including inspection and reporting time for an official evaluation.</p></div>

Q: Do foundation cracks affect your appraisal?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks won&rsquo;t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren&rsquo;t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.</p></div>
