I am considering applying for a home equity loan. In order to get the money I need, my house would need to be assessed at a higher value than it currently is because I have very little equity in the house. However, I have made many major capital improvements, so this won't be a problem. If the bank's assessor assesses the property at a higher value, will my house be subject to higher property taxes? I live in NY, so the property taxes are the highest in the country, and this would be a major problem.
I have considered and researched other alternatives to a home equity loan, so I just need to find the answer to this question. I can't seem to find it on the Internet, and I have asked two mortgage people...and they don't even know.
