How the numbers work

Where the calculator’s build costs come from, and how they’re tested against recorded sales: the lot calculator.

Declared values are from new-home permits on Pompano Beach Click2Gov; lot and sale prices from recorded deeds on the county parcel roll; square feet are the tax roll’s total building area.
