Hi Folks.
Our county tax assessor will be making a visit to my home tomorrow to assess our basement. The lady who will be coming called me today to let me know of her arrival and also mentioned that she will inspect the pellet stove for property taxes (they found out I had it because I got a permit through my town - stupid, stupid, stupid!!). I didnt question her, but a part of me said WTF!
Is this legitimate? I own a Harman XXV free standing stove. Can this really increase my property taxes?
UPDATE**
Thank you for the input everyone. I meant to post sooner but couldn't get around to it. Apparently, like someone here mentioned, they were only coming out to confirm that a stove was installed. The tax assessor confirmed that the pellet stove would not impact my property taxes.
