Best Answer

It doesn't 'lower' the property value. However, depending on the location, it may lower its appeal to many buyers. In Michigan, most people don't want the work of a pool for the extremely short swimming season. And often families with little kids and babies steer clear of buying property with such obvious hazards. And they will increase the insurance rates.

Can you request to lower the property tax?

While you can't lower your property tax directly, every taxing district in the U.S. and Canada has a property tax appeal process where the assessed value may be lowered. A lower assessment means a lower tax bill. Mathematically the assessed value is multiplied by the tax rate set by the taxing district to equal the tax amount. There are specific times when new assessments can be appealed, so check with your local assessor about when new assessments are issued and the deadline for filing appeals.
