I have googled and can’t find anything on our situation. Hopefully someone on here has done this before. We will be buying a new townhome, hopefully soon. We will be buying it before selling ours. Right now, we are not in city limits so we only pay county taxes at the 4% rate (primary residence). When we move, we will be in the city limits in a different county. Taxes are over three times as much as what we pay now but will be even more, way more, if it is considered our second residence. Is there a way to make the home we are in now our second home so the one we are moving to will be our primary residence at the 4% rate? We will be selling fairly quickly, as soon as we can get new flooring and walls painted and don’t want to pay many thousands of dollars in taxes on the new residence.
