Maybe this system is now ending? I told you about my friend who's tax bill went way up. He lived for years in an "unpermitted shack". On the real property website they have linked to Google Earth so you can see the structures. I advised my friend to apply for the home owners exemption. I'm wondering if they will allow this on an unpermitted structure.
