Q: Do pergolas add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, adding a pergola can add value to your home and provides an excellent selling point for potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living. Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment. To add more value, choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and have it professionally installed. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may also give you a better return on investment.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to pay property taxes on a shed with plumbing?

• <div><p>A shed that connects to water or electrical services is likely to be assessed for property taxes; however, tax assessments vary around the country. Since every state and local municipality differ regarding property taxes, you should contact your city to determine whether or not you&rsquo;re required to pay property taxes. Some states consider sheds or detached garages taxable if they have water, sewer, and electricity installed. </p></div>

Q: Do tiny homes depreciate in value?

• <div><p>Tiny homes may depreciate and be more challenging to sell because of their size, customization, and unique space. If your tiny home is on wheels, depreciation can happen in the same way that cars and RVs do. If your tiny home isn&rsquo;t structurally sound, the resale value will also be lower. </p></div>
