Contra Costa 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.
Contra Costa County estates may involve everything from older West County homes and central-county suburbs to hillside, luxury, rural-edge, and Delta-oriented residential properties.
The appraiser should identify the sources reviewed, explain material differences, and state which property characteristics are being relied upon in the valuation.
