Hi, I'm looking at different options for my bathroom, I'm just
wondering whether to keep my bath or replace it with a new steam

how this would effect the value of the property or is important to
have a bath (I have a bath in another bathroom in the house).

Just a thought.

Thanks.

In some states, a "full bath" must include a tub. *For example if you
have two full baths and convert one tub to a shower you will have
1-and-3/4 baths. *Sure this will effect the value somewhat, but if it
increases the value to YOU it might be worth it. *I doubt you will get
a tax break, although in theory you should. *How long you intend to
lived there is another important factor. *Why people do these major
renovations, then move makes no sense.

Unless they changed the tax-assessment code in my town recently, a 1/2
bath is any bathroom with 2 fixtures, a full bath is any bathroom with
at least 3.

My basement bathroom, which contained a toilet and a shower stall when
I moved in, was considered a 1/2 bath. When I added a sink, my next
assessment considered that bathroom to be full.- Hide quoted text -
