It was a 3 brm, now a 4 brm - tax and other implications?
Greetings...
We bought a 3 bedroom townhome in 2002. There was a "bonus" room - it's 15x10. This room is upstairs. It had no windows (total "interior" room). Just the door to enter it, and another door in the back of it leading to a walk-in attic.
We put a small walk-in closet in the back wall (using the space from the huge attic). So now there are two doors in that wall - the original to the attic - and the walk-in closet.
Then we put three 2x2 foot "windows" in the opposite wall. These are about 15 feet up on the wall and overlook the great room and interior steps to the second floor. No glass - just frames/finsihed/trimmed open interior windows. They are actually above the steps, which are open/part of the great room.
While an "interior" room - this room gets more daily sunlight (thanks to a roof-high dormer windows across the top of the great room) than our master bedroom.
So can we put this originally "3 bedroom" on the market as a "4 bedroom"?
AND - the room is new, and I suppose we're still listed with the local tax folks as a 3 bedroom. How does that play? We're in GEORGIA.

If you sell it as a 4 bedroom you could run into problems with the HOA and/or the local zoning ordinances. Check with your HOA and with your local zoning/building department to see if what you did was legal.
