Locally referred to as "taxing rooftops" it strikes at the number of homeowners who are construction professionals or who have often free-lanced to put up workshops, additions, or god forbid actual "Florida rooms" on the properties.
The main thing is to levy higher ongoing taxes on unpermitted additions or improvements, plus sometimes seek back taxes for more of a justification windfall. More so than one-time permitting or code violation fees, much less maintaining curb appeal of the homes.
This is just another "angle" to see how ready everybody's "private" property is for their close-up in their first starring role when it comes to motion pictures.
Expect the data to be shared with nosy HOAs, especially with prohibitions for any "work vehicles" to be parked in view other than business hours. Of course that applies to anything with company decals, naturally including plain white vans and pickups having no markings at all :\
