Alameda County

Property records do not match the existing home

When public records, prior listings, permits, and the physical property report different sizes, room counts, units, or improvements.

Record discrepancies are common in long-held estate properties because additions, conversions, and measurement methods may have changed over time.

Alameda County includes dense urban neighborhoods, older East Bay housing, hillside properties, suburban communities, and homes that have remained in the same family for decades.

The appraiser should identify the sources reviewed, explain material differences, and state which property characteristics are being relied upon in the valuation.
