Semi-finish a Basement



Q: My husband and I would like to semi-finish our basement and finish it as much as we can without getting the tax increase that finished basements get. What part of finishing a basement classifies it as "finished"? Drywall? Taping? Flooring? Wood framing?

A: Thanks for your question. Because laws differ so much across the country, you will need to contact the building department of your particular jurisdiction (usually "City of" or "County of") and ask them. You could probably get your general questions answered over the phone without having to fill out any applications.

Once you decide how much work to have done, let us help you find the ideal service professional in your area. Simply visit us at http://www.servicemagic.com.

Good luck!
