I felt like that was just really lame. 171 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: No, that was pretty great. 172 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: All right, Okay, well I'll try some more later. 173 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 5: Please do just surprise one of your callers from bust 174 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 5: out an accent. 175 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: I surprised Damie King yesterday morning when she, you know, 176 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: she introed me.

Give me a call. 197 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phone, shall we. I 198 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: want to talk to Gene. Hey, Gene, welcome home. 199 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 7: Good morning, Jean. Nice to talk to you. My house 200 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 7: is nearing completion of renovation and my general contractor got 201 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 7: a permit from a city. So I've received a letter 202 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 7: from the Orange County tax Assessor. It's on a farm. 203 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 7: It's a property owner's statement of new construction for me 204 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 7: to fill out what was done and then also on 205 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 7: the cost of it. So my question for you is 206 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 7: is that going to eraise my property tax? 207 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 6: Oh? 208 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: That's a really good question. Typically. Now see, I can't 209 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: speak authoritatively to how things are done in Orange County, 210 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: but typically these days, everybody who pulls a permit ends 211 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: up getting a statement from the tax assessor. I know 212 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: it's true in Ventura County. It's true in La County 213 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: because it just runs through the system and automatically flags hey, 214 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: somebody's doing something and it But here's the thing. We're 215 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: all on a pretty regular schedule for a reassessment of value, 216 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: and I'm not I'm pretty sure that that doesn't change anything. 217 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: What they're really looking for is increased square footage. That's 218 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: almost always the thing that So when people ask me, 219 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: all right, I just did a you know, a major 220 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: bathroom and kitchen remodel. I just poured one hundred and 221 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars into my home. Is that going to 222 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: raise my property taxes? And I personally have not heard 223 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: of an instance in which that's the case. But if 224 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: we've added square footage, square footage is a flat out 225 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: addition to assessed value, and so there will be a 226 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: point where the additional square footage that's listed under the 227 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: permit will be added, and therefore the tax assessor's office 228 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: will reassess property taxes based on at your rate. By 229 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: the way, at your rate they don't start over, you 230 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: don't lose your Prop thirteen or anything like that. But 231 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: at your rate they they will add the additional square 232 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: footage to the assessed value. So what they're primarily looking 233 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: for now, this is my experience. Again, I don't work 234 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: for the assessor's office of any county, but their primary 235 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: target that they're looking for is additional square footage. Now, 236 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: if you you know, if you dump two million dollars 237 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: into a five hundred thousand dollars house, that might, you know, 238 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: alert a reassessment or something. But I have yet to 239 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: hear anybody being reassessed just because they went through a 240 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: major remodel. Does that make sense? 241 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, So that's I was hoping. And that makes 242 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 7: sense too because there's kind of two sections. The first 243 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 7: The first one is just like you said, the zerimodel 244 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 7: in the kitchen, the bathroom, the heating system. And the 245 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 7: bottom part is did you add on did you add 246 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 7: on to structure? That's what they say. 247 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: That's what they're looking for. That's what. So, yeah, don't panic, 248 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: don't worry about it, just go ahead and you know, 249 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: report back to them accurately because it is the additional 250 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: square footage. All additional square footage raises the value of 251 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: a house always, simply because from a real estate perspective, 252 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: you know, a fifteen hundred square foot house that is 253 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: selling in a neighborhood for X dollars per square foot 254 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: is less expensive than a two thousand square foot house 255 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: in the same neighborhood for X dollars per square foot. 256 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: So additional square footage always raises value and triggers a reassessment. 257 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: But still again, not losing your current rate. It's just 258 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: an additional on the rate. 259 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 7: Okay, that makes sense. Thanks so much, And I really 260 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 7: appreciate your show. I never miss it Saturday or Sunday. 261 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, thank you so much, Jane, you're one 262 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: of our twelve listeners.

Orchids are absolutely, absolutely stunning and gorgeous. 322 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: And also famously my wife Tina, who has a green thumb, 323 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: just a natural green thumb for just about any plant. 324 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: Even though she wouldn't admit to this, it's true.

Let's do it. It can start 345 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: from just reassessing how a room is set up by 346 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: way of its furniture and its furnishings. Or we can 347 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: take it all the way. We can take it all 348 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: the way Tomorrow, by the way, on the big show 349 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: from nine to noon right here, we will be talking 350 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: about springtime. Spring rolled in yesterday morning. By the way, 351 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: if you didn't know that at seven forty six am 352 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: Pacific time, it became spring. It was still winter at 353 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: seven forty five, and then spring. You're like, yeah, have 354 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: you looked at outside, deemed, Yeah, the weather has changed. No, 355 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: I know, I'm just letting you know. It's spring as 356 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: of today. This is our first spring show. Tomorrow will 357 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: be our first big spring show, and I'm gonna be 358 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: emphasizing all of the various areas that we can take 359 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: advantage of from working in the yard, transforming a yard 360 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: into a garden. Truly, I want that for each and 361 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: every one of you, all of those kinds of things, 362 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: all the way to maybe adding some windows and doors 363 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: and and I know I'm you know, I'm always price 364 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: sensitive when it comes to these things for everybody. But 365 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: here's the reality. If I can add a window or 366 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: a door to your home, and I know that's not cheap, 367 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: but it's also nowhere near as expensive as doing an addition. Yeah. 368 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: So if we can add the right glass in the 369 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: right place to pick up the right view and the 370 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: right vista, and thereby make the room that we're in 371 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: feel and feel larger and more expansive because it takes 372 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: in this beautiful view from outside. Because everything you can 373 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: see from inside a room belongs to that room psychologically, mentally, 374 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: that's the way it is perceived. It all belongs together. 375 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: So if we can add the right glass in the 376 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: right place, then you know, for just the cost of 377 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: a new window or a large door, we have expanded 378 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: a room without expanding the room. Ah, this is where 379 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: design matters most. Anyway, we'll be talking more about that 380 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: tomorrow on the Big Show. Don't miss it. Right now. 381 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: It is our all call Saturday morning, like we do 382 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: every Saturday, and we've got room on the board for you. 383 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: It's a sleepy Saturday, man. I've got calls, but I 384 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: could use more calls. So Hey, if you've ever thought 385 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 1: about calling in, today is a perfect day because the 386 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: world is asleep out there right now. Eight three three two. 387 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: Ask Dean A three three the numeral two. Ask Dean 388 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: A three three two Ask Dean. It's just that easy. 389 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: Anything that's got you scratching your head about your home? 390 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to the phones. I want 391 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: to talk to Sue. Hey, Sue, welcome home. 392 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 7: Hi sir, Hi, Hi, Hi, Ed Dean. I got several questions. 393 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 3: So I'm doing a total remodel of my house. Internetcola, 394 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 3: the pool, salt versus chlorine. I'm still considering that. I'm 395 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 3: more on the salt side and look at very low maintenance. 396 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 3: If I have the life the life souce system integrated, 397 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 3: will it affect my the pool water like the chlorine 398 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: or the sol that type of thing. 399 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: Okay, last question, no water, Yeah, no, it won't, it won't. 400 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: The life source system is just for the house proper, Okay. 401 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: The source system connects to the mainline into the house, 402 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: not the main water line onto the property, but the 403 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: mainline into the house and so and everything that'll be 404 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: separate from it. And you wouldn't want to do that anyway, 405 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: because the pool takes care of itself, it has its 406 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: own needs separate from house water. So yeah, the life 407 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: source system will only be connected to the house. That's 408 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: where it is most efficient. The pool and the rest 409 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: of the irrigation system for the property is separate from that. 410 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 6: Awesome. 411 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 3: And then my bathroom, I would I'm trying to have 412 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 3: make a spa feel and I'd love the jacuzzi and 413 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 3: in the room I couldn'tly have. 414 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 8: One lot was built with the home builders model. It's 415 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 8: very bulky. Is there a bathtub that could give me 416 00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 8: jets that don't have that big wall around it. 417 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, there's a lot of them. There's a 418 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: lot of them out there. I would just literally there 419 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: are so many of them, Sue that I would if 420 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: I were you just start to kind of search, you know, 421 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: use some Google and some AI and search specifically with 422 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: that parameters like not bulky jetted tub. There are free 423 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: standing tubs now with integrated jets in them that have 424 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: that require no tub deck or anything around them. And 425 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: there's more than one, and so I won't waste everybody's 426 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: time mentioning them, but yeah, go searching for them. It's 427 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: the golden age of free standing tubs. That's talking about 428 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: trends towards SPA likeness. But I will tell you this though, 429 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: know this, just know this, and I can totally appreciate 430 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: your desire for jets and the massaging effect always just 431 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: kind of a pet peeve of mine. Has nothing to 432 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: do with the homeowner wanting, you know, a jetted tub, 433 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: but it has to do with how the industry kind 434 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: of advertises. It's a little little misleading at times, because 435 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: any blower and motor that creates the jetted tub effect, 436 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: like you know, a jacuzzi kind of effect. That's a 437 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: brand name. It has a noise coefficient with it, and 438 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: so I always kind of laugh. I gotta be honest 439 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: with you. More often than not, we're pulling out those big, 440 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: bulky tubs because they're big and bulky and they've got 441 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: those gigantic nineteen eighties decks around them, and we're putting 442 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: in freestanding soaker tubs to keep the hot the you know, 443 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: the water nice and bubbly and hot, but not usually 444 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: jetted these days. And the reason is because we all 445 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: imagine this beautiful spa experience and you're in there with 446 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: your candlelight and you're reading your book and it's all 447 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: looks very meditative in the you know, on the online 448 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: picture or the magazine spread, and then you turn on 449 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: the jets and it's like and it kind of ruins 450 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: the zen of the bathroom. It's not something that we 451 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: think about outside, you know, an outdoor, free standing spa, 452 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: because you know, you kind of expect that there's going 453 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: to be some noise associated with that. But inside a bathroom, 454 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: to have the blower going it, you know, from a 455 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: sound perspective, it's a bit disruptive. So just be aware 456 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: of that in your desire. You know, I would suggest 457 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: you at least consider a free standing soaker tub that 458 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: maybe has no jets, because if you really want that quiet, 459 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: zen soaking experience, then then just go for the you know, 460 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: go for the hot water and the luxury of the experience, 461 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: and that, by the way, opens up the other ninety 462 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: five percent of all free standing tubs in the world 463 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: to you at that point. But here's the key. Here 464 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: is the key. A free standing tub that's going to 465 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: be a soaker tub. Most of the plumbing inside your 466 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: house is half inch half inch diameter lines feeding sinks 467 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: and shower heads and toilets and all of that kind 468 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: of stuff. And what we want to do is you 469 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: want to make sure you run a three quarter inch 470 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: three quarter inch hot water line to the tub. What 471 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: that means is that it fills up fast, like super 472 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: fast with the hot water, so that it doesn't take 473 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: ten minutes to fill and the hot water that you 474 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: put in there ten minutes ago is already cooling off. 475 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: So the key to having a luscious, luxury spa experience 476 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: inside a soaker tub is to have a three quarter 477 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: inch hot water line hooked up to it so that 478 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: it fills up in just a minute or so and 479 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: the hot water stays hot. 480 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 3: Well, I have one more last question. So I'm going 481 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 3: to be having a deck concerted my back coming from 482 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 3: the primary room that will go to. 483 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 8: The ground floor. If I want to use that as 484 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 8: a living space, as I heard a little before, will 485 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 8: that increase my property tax because that's an addition because 486 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 8: I'm using under the deck. 487 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're going to use it as if you 488 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: want it as a legal living space, if it's going 489 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: to be a habitable space, that increases your square footage, 490 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: and that will increase your property tax. 491 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 8: Yeah, But if it's just a deck, that won't it 492 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 8: won't be counted. 493 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: Nope, that's that's the beautiful thing is that outside decks, 494 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: you can build the the you know, the square footage 495 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: equivalent of your entire house out into your backyard.
