Will this raise my taxes?

We want to put a ductless air unit in the attic of our house. In the room count, this was advertised as a "bonus room" THough it was finished, it is the Sahara in the summer, arctic in winter-not usuable due to temperature. Now that we want to use it and add a ductless unit, I've read that this will increase taxes. Is that true? We don't plan to sell anytime soon. If we do sell though, what do I do to make this part of my room count. I am assuming my taxes will rise. tia for your input

I don't think so, it's an attic with Sheetrock. I would call the town to inquire

Central a/c will increase your taxes in some towns.

I'm not sure if ductless will or if the Town would even know you had it if there is no condensor outside.

If there is a condensor outside, you may get "caught" like people do with pools without permits (the towns sometimes do aerial photos, etc).

what town are you located in?
