Bath & Bed # in listing different compared to county records

I’m a newbie and this is my first property purchase in the US. The seller accepted the offer last week and I’m currently in the process of inspecting the property (coming up in two days). 

I’m taking this time to do my own due diligence and noticed the listing and the county records has significant discrepancies in the number of bathrooms and bedrooms. 

The listing shows 7 bed/7 baths, but the county only showed 6 bed/4 baths. I haven’t seen the property in person except had my realtor video conferencing a walkthrough. The number of bed/baths on the listing matches with the actual house. Are the extra bedroom, bathrooms a concern (eg. Reno not up to code, etc.)

Is this a huge red flag? Time to get out of the deal?


PS - I’m in the state of Florida. House was built in 2014
