thanks Robby,
However...when looking at many homes on Zillow, I see a sq footage for the home. then, i click on the "public facts" figure (still in the Zillow web site)
and get a sq footage which is much smaller. To verify which figure is, in fact, the correct one for heated/cooled living space, i have gone to the county assessor's web site and it verifys the smaller figure.
So, the question remains. Where does Zillow get its sq footage info from??? Is it from the MLS listing which comes unaudited from a listing realtor, or does Zillow go one computer step further and verify the sq footage by using the "public facts" info . Which is available on every Zillow listing!!

Zillow uses information found on the county tax roll or register of deeds. If that info in incorrect it will show up as incorrect on Zillow. They have no other way to verify.
How does zillow correct for inaccurate square footage by the originator of a listing?
