Incorrect county records advise
I am not sure how to phrase this question, the county record for a rental I am selling is incorrect, it does not have the correct square footage for a permitted addition, and the number of bedrooms is listed as three instead of four. I want the listing to capture the missing 40 square feet and the fourth bedroom so I am going to visit the county recorders office this week.
So, what do do I need to show the clerk at the records office? How do get the actual square footage and room count in the official records? Does anyone have any experience they can share with me? I would really like to do this in one trip if possible.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Rick: You're going to want to talk to the Ventura County Assessor's Office (not Recorder). Don't go in. Call first! Tell them that your current assessment does not have the correct number of bedrooms, and does not include the now permitted additional square footage.
I don't suggest you submit any handmade sketches or any documents until you talk to someone at the Assessor's Office and confirm the process for updating/correcting your assessment.
