Discrepancy in Square Footage

[Paul C.]

I purchased a home ~1 year ago as my primary residence. I was poking around and saw that on my property taxes, my square footage is listed at ~2400sqft. However, I checked my appraisal and they have me at closer to 2800sqft. Does this matter at all and is do I have any opportunity? Trying to think about tax impact and resale impact, but let me know if there is anything else I should be keeping an eye on. Thanks!

@Paul C., I don't think that is too big of a deal for what you are concerned with.  I'm wondering if there was an unpermitted addition or covered porch that wasn't permitted with the city?  If you tell the county clerk, you might be asking for a tax increase.  As far as resale goes, what does your last listing say?  Upon resale, I would have your agent use the 2,800 ft and tell the buyers to verify.
