County Record Bdrm/Bthrm Vs. Actual
If you have a 3/2 but it is recorded as a 2/1, is there any reason you would want to update the county tax records?
The primary reason I want to avoid this is property tax savings, but I'm trying to think of any pitfalls. This is a rental property.
Presumably the addition was made in the 1980's (originally built in the 1950's), and no updates were ever made with the city (Dallas, TX).
