Site Plan ~ Greenhouse Example ~ Video

Click here, for a complete description on what building, miscellaneous improvement, modifier or outbuilding gets added where.

This video shows the following Site Plan additions…

• Structure/Occupancy: 30×90 Commercial Greenhouse AND a 30×90 (Old Elks Club) 1950’s building being used as a greenhouse or growhouse
• Interior Finish: None
• Miscellaneous Improvements: None
• Building Modifier: None
• Site Improvements: Outbuilding—30×90 Commercial Greenhouse
  

Commercial Greenhouses may be entered as an outbuilding or occupancy. (Watch the video for three examples.)

Helpful hints: For similar pricing…
When adding a greenhouse as an outbuilding: CHOOSE hoop for the frame. The roof and side coverings don’t matter, as they are assumed.
When adding a greenhouse as an occupancy: CHOOSE control Atmos. Warm/Cooled for heating and cooling. Choose Single fiberglass panels for the exterior wall and N/A for the roof, as it assumes the roof is the same.

The quality should increase as the attributes increase.
Example:
Low quality greenhouse: Light, metal framing covered with light, plastic sheeting and dirt floor would be low quality.
High quality greenhouse: Heavy, metal framing, with straight walls, polycarbonate wall coverings, ventilation fans, heating, lighting, water and concrete floor with drains.

How do we enter an old building (let’s say a former Elk’s Club) that they have turned into a greenhouse?

Answer: The county appraiser must use their best judgement on these unique cases and treat all similar properties the same. User may choose to enter the commercial building as it stands in the Building Details. In the Section Details, you may change the occupancy (use) to greenhouse. Keep in mind damaging effects of high humidity on a wood framed, traditionally finished building. (The condition of the building would decrease rapidly.) In such cases the appraiser may want to check to see if there is a personal property rendition to cover grow lights, trays etc…
