Home Maintenance Doesn't Raise Assessment Says County Auditor
Butler County Auditor Ray Tilton dispels the belief that normal home repairs boost property tax assessments. He lists normal maintenance not affecting value, including exterior painting, new roofs, siding, insulation, landscaping, porches, interior redecorating, and wiring updates. Only certain improvements raise assessments, such as built in appliances, indoor fireplaces, added or enlarged garages, new ceramic tiling, attic or basement finishing, and furnace upgrades.
