Property Tax Units differ from building certificate units

Hi everyone - I'm buying a property where the Chicago property tax registry acknowledges 3 units in a single-family (RS-3) two-flat dwelling while a building certificate the seller ordered registers the property as having 2 units.  Is this common?   I haven't seen this before. Thoughts?  Thanks.

The assessor means nothing, they just make up the number of units.  It is not based on any facts and cannot be deemed reliable
