All 3 companies said that if we duct the existing a/c and heat in there (for about $600), it counts as taxable space. If we decide to do a mini-split system (about $3,200), it doesn't count as taxable space. A no-brainer on that decision.
News flash.....ducting it does not make it livable space UNLESS you remove the doors. I suggest that your talk to the people that will actually tax you at the County. Their opinion is the only one that really matters.
