Tax season is here, and many homeowners are eagerly anticipating their refunds. While it's tempting to splurge on a vacation or new electronics, savvy homeowners are discovering that investing their tax dollars in backyard storage solutions offers substantial long-term value. Athens Barn Center provides quality portable buildings that not only solve your storage problems but can also enhance your property value and potentially offer tax benefits.
Why Backyard Storage Makes Financial Sense
When tax refund checks arrive, the smartest homeowners think beyond immediate gratification and consider investments that keep giving back. A quality storage shed can potentially increase your home's market value by 1-2%, with that percentage rising significantly when the shed serves as additional functional space.
Instead of renting expensive self-storage units month after month, a one-time investment in a portable building from Athens Barn Center provides lasting value right in your backyard. While sheds may not add substantial financial value in all cases, well-constructed buildings can contribute to overall marketability should you decide to sell your home later.

Popular Storage Options

Tax Considerations for Your New Shed
While most standard storage sheds won't qualify for direct tax deductions, there are potential tax benefits to consider:
Home improvements, including quality storage structures, can be added to the tax basis of your home. This means when you eventually sell your property, the investment in your shed may reduce the taxable profit from the sale.
If you work from home or run a business, there may be additional considerations. For self-employed individuals, a shed used exclusively and regularly for business purposes could potentially qualify for home office-related deductions. However, you should always consult with a tax professional regarding your specific situation.
Property Value Considerations
Adding a quality shed from Athens Barn Center can enhance your property in several ways:
In most instances, portable buildings don't significantly affect property taxes since they're typically not considered permanent structures. This is particularly true for buildings built on skids, making them technically portable. Athens Barn Center's portable buildings provide this advantage while still delivering exceptional quality.
