They still have a value assigned to the land that you’re taxed on, right?

I know this is an old post, but I’m a little slow =)

It all kind of evens out anyway though, because I’ve been getting charged for the “full value” of the house that was on the property for the last year, when the “full value” to me was zero dollars. The value was negative in fact, because I had to deconstruct the thing.

Not necessarily surprising, but most definitely extraordinary. And that it lasts for a few years even though they clearly know that you are in the process of building a home likely to be valued well north of $0, I am astonished.
