Property tax is theft, PERIOD. I know that's not the ruling here, but I want to remind everyone that cases like this wouldn't exist if we actually owned our homes instead of paying a perpetual lease to someone (US Gov't, Queen of England?).
I agree. Every time I do improvements to my home and farm, taxman, pokes his nose in my business. The reason for permits, it’s not for safety, but to alert the taxman that you were making improvements on your farm or house.
They are very greedy. He over, assessed my home and Barn, which add an additional $700 per month on my mortgage. He even taxed the tiny patio that I poured concrete so I wouldn’t have to step in mud.
He told me each loafing shed would accrue a $3500 tax assessment, and if I put a riding ring in the price of it determines if it’s an all weather ring with fancy footing.
We had a nice conversation, in which I had to justify why my barn shouldn’t be taxed at top-tier and I explained about the mortgage increase due to property tax. He did drop me some hints on what they charge when improvements are done to the property.
I want to finish the basement, but North Carolina law says I have to pull permits for electric and plumbing, even though it’s to code.

You need to look into putting your house and property into a trust under the original land patent. Then you can tell the assessor to kiss your ass.
That's interesting. Do you have a link to this process?
