Yes. While many maintenance items do not require a building permit and other items such as furnaces and new wiring would not increase your tax assessment; some work to your home may increase your assessment. Please discuss the new LERTA program with the city before you hire a contractor. Some areas of the city no longer receive the 10-year 100% tax abatement.
