Procedure

Realist Building Sketch Report

Review the building sketch and become familiar with the layout of the property. Make note of all the features that contribute to the total square footage of the house. During the tour of the property, compare the building sketch to the layout of the property. Consider pulling the county property card for detailed information on permitted improvements to the property. Contact the governing municipality for instructions on pulling the county property card.

Additional Information

Pinellas County has not updated building sketches since 2002 and has no plans to do so in the future. The building sketch should be used as a research guide.

Information to discuss with client / customer 

Discuss with the seller additions that have been made to the property that impact the square footage of the home. Inquire as to whether or not those additions were permitted with the county.

Information to discuss with client / customer  

If an addition or renovation was made to the property that impacts the total square footage, confirm with the county that the addition/renovation was properly permitted. To check for permits, pull the property card from the county. Contact the governing municipality for instruction on pulling the county property card.
