⚠ Lot-area discrepancy
GIS parcel (0.42 ac) is 57% LARGER than the assessor's recorded 0.27 ac (+6,752 sf). Likely a lot assemblage (adjacent lot merged into the parcel) not yet reflected in the assessment, or a stale CAMA land line. Verify against the deed/survey.
Assessor record: 0.27 ac · GIS polygon: 0.425 ac · gap: +6,752 sf (57.4%).
