Property is bigger than the size listed on Country office

[Irfan Saeed]

Hi Guys - I would appreciate if someone can help on this

I am about to sell a property which according to my measurement is bigger than the size listed on local county appraisal site. Since I am not a professional so I contacted an appraisal to just do a professional measurement on the property. He denied to do the measurement saying that if he does the measurement and the property is really bigger than the size listed on county office than I need to prove why the property is bigger. He said there must have been some addition made on the property. While I can tell that there is not addition made on the property and it is in its original shape. it seems to me that the previous owner may have reported the wrong size or its a county office mistake.

It seems like I would leave money on the table If I list the property according to county appraisal. The difference is about 300sqft. I would appreciate any suggestions

Thanks
