Yes, but not as much as you may be thinking. The City determines the costs associated with building the backyard home (note this will most likely differ from our bid). This information is forwarded to the tax assessor who then increases the value of your property based on the cost information received from the City. For example, if the City indicates that the value of the construction is $100,000, the tax assessor will add that to your original property value.
Let’s say you purchased your home for $750,000, your property tax will only increase based on the City’s value of the cost of the improvements, $100,000. At 1.1% of this cost, your property taxes will only increase a few hundred dollars more per year, which is way less than the rental income you’ll receive.
