Converting a Garage into..

Someone I know wants to convert a garage into a bedroom (living space). Do you know how much your taxes would go up if you did that? Assuming you get Certificate of Occupancy??

I don't know about taxes, but I would seriously consider whether that is something that you want to do first. If you plan on reselling at that point, a lot of people wouldn't buy a house that doesn't have a garage.

As long as you leave the garage door in place (from the outside) I don't think your taxes go up - but I don't really know.

Thanks. The garage still has the door. We don't mind not having a garage. We were only concern about the taxes.

Taxes would go up. If you are adding more living space it would. If we finish our basement even if we don't put in a bathroom, our taxes will go up but I was told not by much.

When we moved into our home the owner didn't have a CO for the converted garage but needed to get it - it didn't affect our taxes in our case but our taxes were higher than what they should be so maybe that's why.
