OK, all, you might have seen some pics of my workshop, and I am all but complete, minus the tools for now.
I knew I was goig to have TAX issues, but the position I am in is crazy.
Here it is......Since my addition is permited, all inspections were done and passed, and the addition for the workshop is attached to my main structure, and I have a LG mini-split AC/heat pump, the County and School crack me on my taxes - I knew and saw this coming....thye consider it habitable space, becasue of the heat.
Now, since I paid for this out of pocket, for the most past, I decided I would like to get some cash back and get a Equity loan on the Addition. After paying for (2) seperate Appraisals, both Appraisers said the space is not considered living space, even with the mini-split, I just have a VERY NICE covered porch on of them told me.
So, the County and School taxed me on habitable space, and the bank said it's not. My Appeal time has passed, taxes are paid so I am out there, and the bank wont give any Equity, just not the value I tought it would, because they don't consider it living space.
Should I remove the mini-split for next year and Appeal? or just forget about it? Not sure what to do!!
