Property record card calculations are often inaccurate because of human error in data collection and because of copying mistakes. Make certain that lot and home dimensions are correct. Often the square footage of a garage, attached storage area, sunroom or porch is erroneously included in the total living space square footage calculations.
Living space is taxed at a substantially higher rate than unheated, non-living space. Even a simple 2-foot error in recording the dimensions of a 2-story house could result in a 10% OVERCHARGE.
For example:
a two-story raised ranch was inaccurately measured 22' x 45' when it should have measured 20' x 45'.

Uneven terrain or obstacles like oil tanks or bushes increase the likelihood of sloppy measurements. Often it is much simpler for the tax collector to carry forward measurements from other previously collected data.
HEATED SPACE Errors
How often have I seen porches included it the square foot count, or unheated space like a garage, shed, enclosed porch, sunrooms, patio areas ... in the count. Unless someone like you uncovers it and points it out in an appeal, these taxpayers will get hosed forever.
Other Common Errors
Countless taxpayers have been overpaying taxes for years because of wrong calculations. It could ever be a failure for the tax assessor to make adjustments for the condition of the house, depreciation for roofs, cracked foundation, and other general conditions, location adjustments, functional adjustments, then there are age differences with comparable and a host of other potential areas for appeal.
Property record cards can be found at the municipal tax assessor's office or online. Comparable can be found online or from real estate offices recently sold homes section.
