Everyone that doesn’t live right on the beach knows that above-ground swimming pools<\/a> are a fun addition to anyone’s backyard. They’re relatively cost-effective, and since they’re free-standing, temporary structures, you can move or dismantle them whenever you want. However, a question comes to mind: does an above-ground pool increase your property taxes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your property taxes would only increase if you add a permanent fixture to your property, such as an inground swimming pool. Above ground pools aren’t permanent & can be removed, they won’t increase your property taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With that being said, keep in mind that above-ground pools don’t add value to your property as indoor or in-ground swimming pools do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read on to know more about pool property taxes, along with the advantages and disadvantages of above-ground pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inground Swimming pools increase your home’s property taxes because inground swimming pools add value to your property<\/a>. It all comes down to supply and demand; more and more homeowners are looking for properties with swimming pools but only a recorded 5% of pools have homes. Therefore, if a buyer finds a house with an indoor pool, it has a higher chance of being sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adding a swimming pool to your home is classified under “home improvements,” which are among the most common reasons for an increase in property tax<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the market, your swimming pool may add as little as 5% or as much as 30% to the overall cost of your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From here, your property taxes are determined by the assessed value of your home and then multiplied by your local tax rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, if your property is worth $500,000 and your property tax rate is 2%, your property tax bill might cost around $10,000 annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\ufeff\u7280\u5229\u58eb<\/a>\n<\/span>Why Do Inground Swimming Pools Increase Property Taxes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
