I'm adding a handicapped ramp w/ a deck to my house for my parents will that increase my property tax?

Question

in order to build the handicapped ramp to code there will be a section for turning around and that will have a deck area large enough for a motorized scooter or wheel chair to move around. The permits list the project as a handicapped ramp

Answer 1

Property taxes are based on assessed values of properties.  In the extreme majority of cases, making a home handicap access ramp will not increase the value of the property.  It might actually decrease the value due to the very limited market demand for such features, unless you are in an area with a large percentage of elderly / handicapped population such as a florida retirement community.
