So, any re-sale property can potentially have unpermitted additions ? Do home inspectors typically compare public records with actual floor plans ?[/quote]
I bought a house recently ( Sheldon did the financing ) … Tax rolls said 4/2.5, but there were really 4 full bathrooms. The appraisal stated clearly “4 bathrooms”, there was no mention that any of them were unpermitted. The issue never came up. All bathrooms look perfectly normal, the appraiser probably did not bother checking the public record.
To this day, I have no idea which bathroom was added and which one was converted from half to full. I’ve been thinking to visit the county office and try to find old plans of my house … To my knowledge, neither the inspector nor the appraiser did that.
