No. Your cost basis is the amount you paid in 2000 (including qualifying closing costs), plus the costs of any improvements.  You cannot add the closing costs from refinancing to your cost basis.  Be sure to set up the land and the structure as separate assets.  You will need a property tax bill to allocate the cost between land and improvements.
