It tells me that my house is worth $18,000 more than what I paid for it... and they don't even know about the improvements I made yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]915851[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I guess it's a good test to see how up to date your government is on the value of houses in a certain area. In my neighborhood, many houses are undergoing rehabs or rebuilds. It's nice that the government isn't accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does he have to live in an area? Does his effect plateau or continue to accumulate? Are you planning on moving soon? Perhaps you better notify us.
