[quote=sdrealtor]If the tax records indicate a mailing address different than the physical address it’s not a primary residence. There are a few other ways but i think i can answer whether it’s owner occupied with well over 90% confidence level

Generally speaking,yes. But for me, all my property tax bills go to a PO Box, because otherwise I get hit with solicitations at my home address by companies and people dumpster diving in the county public records that list the property and mailing address of the tax bill.
Two ways to determine if a house is primary residence are:
1. look at the property tax bill and see if there’s a primary residence homeowner’s exemption on it.
2. if the property is inside the city of san diego jurisdiction, see if the address has an rental business tax on it.
