Swimming Pool Tax Credit?

[simsjim]

hmm...my property taxes are actually higher because of the pool...

But that is local jurisdiction. I know in some cases gunite, concrete or fiberglass pools create higher taxes than IG vinyl liners. Something to do with the permanency of the "fixture". I think the IG vinyl is not considered "real property" but "portable".

It would be neat if someone with some tax/property experience contributed to the thread. "Without offering legal advisement, of course."

I wonder if I could write off renovations I had to a pool that was present when I moved in, if I could prove that I needed the pool for therapeutic use.....then again, like it was said before, I close my pool during the colder months.
