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

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...

To the best of my knowledge, land is land and it includes all the land
that you have covered up with grass trees and buildings.

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

Land is still land, even if it is under a building. That is a temporary
situation easily rectified by a front end loader.
The building adds value to the land.

If you look at your homeowners insurance, the replacement value of the house
is not equal to the selling price because land is included in the selling
price.

Forgot to ask do you also include any easements thru your property as
part of your land?

Yes, you own the land. An easement gives someone else the right to cross
your land or use it for utility access but they do not own your land.

There is something adrift here. Area is measured
in square feet and value is measured in dollars.
