Appraisals after Home Improvements: What if County Records are Wrong?
County Records are typically a reliable source for determining the gross living area (GLA) of a home. There may be instances, however, where the home owner has had a home appraisal done in the past and knows for sure that it is listed inaccurately in the county records. In these instances we can consider sources such as an old sketch done previously by a home appraiser, we can refer to the original blue print as more reliable sources for GLA. The questionnaire provided on this Alternative Appraisals site is a critical component in determining any upgrades, additions, or improvements that may have an impact on the appraiser’s opinion of value.
