[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As far as I can tell, the complaints here seem more emotional and psychological than substantive. Not everything has to be pleasant to your eyes.[/quote] It seems like this addition is unpleasant in many people's eyes (based on comments here). If I were the neighbor I would appeal my tax assessment because no way would I pay 10K in taxes (or close to that) to live next to that. Their house value is most definitely impacted and it's the fault of the county. The assessed value is no longer valid on their house. [/quote] Doing a formal or rigorous study on the impact of an ugly house on the property values of neighboring homes would be difficult, due to the subjectivity. But there other things that can give us an idea. Consider dilapidated houses. Those have about a 5% impact on the value of neighboring homes.[/quote]
