"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?"

Re;
The land "under the house" is not excluded from the total; at least not
in my state of S.C. The land area is used to assess the land value;
regardless of structures. The structure square footages are used to
assess their values regardless of the value of the land value upon which
they sit. Hope that helps...
