Marketing house with unpermitted bed/bath

Hi folks,

I'm about to sell my home that I bought in 2009. It was originally a 3/1.5 raised ranch. In the finished lower level (all above ground) I added a bedroom and turned what was a crappy half bath in to a luxurious pimp bathroom.

My potential issue is that the work was all done without permits and the tax assessor's website doesn't reflect the correct # of bed's/baths.

Will I have to market the house based on tax records and then have the buyer see the extra added value on their own? Will I have to disclose unpermitted bonus rooms (these are not additions)

Thanks!
