Santa Clara 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.
Santa Clara County estates may include older Silicon Valley homes, attached housing, luxury residences, rural-residential property, and real estate affected by decades of market change.
The appraiser should identify the sources reviewed, explain material differences, and state which property characteristics are being relied upon in the valuation.
