In fact, I recently wrote a book about this that explains the laws in California, some of which are nationwide laws.

The interesting this is, I told the agent that I have gone to properties with a separate garage that required me to pay (just recently in Nashville) and they said that is against their policy.

We bought 1.5 acre of 15 acre land which was in agriculture tax exemption in middle of this year. how can we continue to get the same agriculture exemption for this and next year. we had calculated the maximum tax as $100 for the entire year during the closing due to agriculture tax exemption and have prorated accordingly for our 1.5 acre.

How should i scale from here ?

However, once your modified AGI is between $100,000 and $150,000, this allowance begins to phase out.

Quote from @Corey Stewart: We have a neighbor of a tenant that has called the hoa regarding the tenant smoking in the back yard. 

Is this the same with other real estate agents too?
