How can you assess for something that is not attached to my home?

It is commonly believed if a porch and/or deck are not touching the home, it cannot be taxed. This is a complete misconception. All structures need to be properly inspected and noted on the record card. A determination will be made as to whether they are contributing to the overall value and therefore included in the assessment.
