Find out the insured value of the home (replacement cost of the structure)
from the insurance company (or get a quote for same) then subtract that from
your sale price and you have the value of the land (roughly). Your land is
land whether it has a house on it or not so you have a 6000 SF lot with a
1000 SF structure on it

I need to list the square footage of my property (land only value) on
a tax related form but I couldn't get the info from my tax appraisal
district because they don't list the value yet.

My question is, if I go to my survey and look at the dimensions of my
lot and home, is the "land" value (for tax purposes) including the
area of the home on the lot or without the area of my home on the lot?
I ask this because they ask for the area of "land" and "building"
separately. Inotherwords, if my lot is say 60' x 100' and my home is
say 1000 sqft., is the sq footage of "land" 6,000 sqft or 5,000
sqft for tax / appraisal purposes?

thanks in advance
