i am considering a cement driveway, but was told by a friend that in
doing so, would increase my property tax in new york. his reasoning is
that it would be concidered a "perminant addition". has anyone heard
such a thing?

thank you in advance for your time and input...

it is, here. a concrete driveway is taxed, but an asphalt one is not
(I'm in the midwest US).

best way to find out is to visit your local assessor and ask for the
criteria they use. here, it's on the property card. metal awning,
concrete pad, etc - all facets of your property are considered in order
to milk as much money as possible from you.

Hi,
Tax is based on property value. Drive way will increase the value.
Any addition will.

Never heard of it. Anything that increases the value of your home will thus
increase the tax bill, but I've never heard of a differentiation specific
for driveway materials. You may want to ask your tax assessor, because
your town may have some quirky laws the rest of us never heard of.

You could do a cement driveway, and cover it, periodically, w/ 1/16" of
asphalt.
Who'll know??
