Missed the Drawing - Assessor sketch v Mine

[BRCJR]

Assessor probably used the submitted blueprints from building permit. Contractor changed the footprint but still same GLA.

FTR assessors aren't always dealing with cooperative homeowners. My town lister (assessor) has been threatened on several occasions for attempting to verify building dimensions to the point he basically guestimates everything from GIS aerial photos. If they contest then he comes in and measures.

Arbitrary. Why not 0.05 or 0.2? Details of a game set my Fannie.

It is somewhat typical to measure to the 1/10' or to the inch. So that benchmark makes sense to most.

That makes sense.

I never ever measured to the 1/10 inch before ANZI forced it upon us. No need to be that accurate. Let appraisers worry about more important things.

I have to give credit to BRCJR on this one.
There's always an explanation to discrepancies when we check on assessor figures.

I don't measure to the 1/10 inch with ANSI. What a rube

Usually... County Assessors don't pull a tape around the dwelling.

Ours do. In fact, are required to by law in Arkansas.

Terrible floor plan

The original house was built by the Cherokee Nation. Those were simple 2 or 3 bed, 1 bath houses, slab with a 1 car garage. This house originally was built possibly in the early 60s to mid-70s. The Nation then allowed the (tribal member) property to be sold. The buyers remodeled the house by adding to one end, enclosed the carport and made it a kitchen then added the family room about 8 years ago. This is pretty common in those 900- 1200 SF "Indian homes" which blanket much of the Cherokee Nation (which is about 4 counties large.)

Sprawling houses are very common for these kinds of remodel in this country.
