Will assessed taxes go up if I change a crushed stone driveway to cement or paving stone?
I am buying a house in Scarsdale, and the driveway is crushed stone. I want to change to flat concrete or (preferably) to paving stones. How much will assessed taxes typically be impacted?
Your assessment will not be affected if you are just changing the material.
Best to all your Tax assessors office!
In Yorktown Heights a new tax assesment is normally triggered by a building permit, which is not required when paving a driveway. Speaking to the tax accessor at Town hall is always your best bet!
I believe that if you are changing the material, it would be considered landscaping. Landscaping usually does not affect your assessment like a bedroom or bathroom. Paving stones is a great way to go. We have done some unbelievable work in Unilock. I am an authorized Unilock Distributor and Premier landscape contractor. We do a lot of estate work in Bedford and Pound ridge and are also down in the Scarsdale area.

If you are not changing the footprint of the driveway, nothing should change.
I suggest you call your local Town Hall and to speak to someone in the Tax Assessor's Office.
