After my property is rebuilt or repaired following the damage, will my property taxes increase over what they were before?

No. Property owners will retain their previous taxable value if the house is rebuilt in a like or similar manner. However, any new square footage or extras, such as additional bathrooms, will be added to the previous base year value at their full market value.
