Now THIS is a house

Looks nice but I’d bet it wasn’t built too well

Shouse! (shed and house.) Pretty popular around here. That would work for me. My wife? Probably not. They can be pretty nice inside though. The inside shot is from a "barndominum" site.

I recently was told about these types of buildings. With the high cost of building a house this must be a cheaper alternative. But heating and cooling would be a bitch.

One MAJOR questions (note: I'm in NEW JERSEY) WHAT ARE THE PROPERTY TAXES????? Would say $1200-2200 PER MONTH!!! And that would be in Salem, Gloucester, Cumberland or Atlantic counties, 4 of the CHEAPEST counties in ALL of NJ.

We don't clean windows in Oklahoma. We just replace them every few years after tornadoes.

Barndominiums are a fad that will pass. Nobody will want a big shop to live in with all their EVs?

Property tax can be a bit complicated. You would have to check with your county. I would imagine the square feet of living space would be at a different rate than the storage side. Square footage and assessed value come into play. It's a possibility.

County prop taxes are nothing, its TOWNSHIP/CITY/LOCAL that hammers us.

Fords had issue years ago, catching fire underhood: several townhouses total loss: garage & living area due to being parked in garage

property taxes are insane , unless you plan on building on a farm or ranch . here in calif . just a 1.2 m dollar house is about 15k a year in the city .

mine are just over 7K......I heard newer homes close to me are 10ishK

ANY WAY, the original post's house would be fine for me DOWN South or out in midwest, away from tornado alley; mountains of TN WV, western Virg would be ok, but hate snow!

wouldn't work for me.....that upstairs living space would smell like a toxic landfill

Yours is average Mark. Same house in development in Washington & Gloucester Twps EASY $12-14k/year, extra tax for REBEL's toxic gas discharges!!

 

[eldubb440]

over 7K per year, mostly to educate (babysit) a school full of hood rats who graduate (sometimes) with a 3rd grade reading level

My $1200 per year property taxes don't seem so bad in light of yours.

@joe m : Forgot about southern DE!! Taxes there not to shabby!! My barber retired in S DE, with his 62 (?) T-Bird.

calif is just to costly it seems . but we do have the greats weather . right now i'm sitting on two undeveloped lots and my shop with a rental house on it , paying around 4k a year . only because my pop put them in a trust for my sister and myself years ago . but if i develop either dirt lot , the taxes will be outrages . and yes i'm looking ease where to live out my days . and gas just hit 6 bucks plus a gallon here .
