FYI - LostCaper - the assessor could care less about the septic and well in terms of assessment. They only came when I built something requiring a permit (they scope out the building permit records to do visits). My assessed value only changed significantly when I started to build the bunker. My land incrementally rose in assessed value throughout the years, but was at about the rate of inflation.
Having a good septic system and virtually unlimited clean water is a nice thing to have, I think...
Well, the septic system had to be done or no house permit. They could care less if I had potable water, which I find odd...
I get if you want to live on the down-low, but if I am putting all this work and money into my homestead, I want to see value should I sell one day. And in my hood, I should (easily and then some). I won't go so far as to say this is the Hamptons, but we do seem be trending up, as it were. So far, property taxes are minimal here...no services.
