One of the most frequent questions I get asked is about school taxes.

School taxes are something that was passed about 15 or 20 years ago. If you’re doing an Orange County Remodel that includes a room addition, chances are you’ll have to pay school taxes.

Every city is a little different. It ranges from $2.50 a square foot to $5.50 a square foot. It is something you will have to check on with your local school district. Keep in mind that if your addition is fairly small, under 500 square feet, you will not have to pay school taxes.
