County Assessor has erroneous sq footage on record
I am purchasing a new house, and the sq feet stated on county records says it is 1,956 sq ft. The house was appraised, and the appraisal says it is 1650 sq ft. I think the garage sq ft was originally included in the county report when house was built. Does anyone think it would be worth telling the county about the error, and run the risk of the county auditing the house and raising the house value, thus raising the property tax? Or would it be better to leave the sq ft the same with the county?
