So I was never really liked Microsoft Live Search but now that Bing has come out I have been playing with the travel search functionality, which I really like, and the mapping functionality. Bing Maps has this thing called Birds Eye where you can see properties from the side, this is still from the air but at an angle it is not at all like what Google Street View is trying to do.
When I looked at the property from the side and then looked back at the Redfin Listing I noticed that the back addition was not listed in the sales information, and from looking at the neighborhood again from the Birds Eye View the "bonus room" for lack of a better term was an addition.
Time to check the permits. So in 2004 Fairfax County came out with their Fairfax Inspections Database Online, FIDO. It is a silly name but the functionality is great and goes back to 1985.
With that I hit FIDO up and look to see what permits have been pulled for 7301 Pimmit Ct. and find that the only item was in September of 2005 to a previous owner for a Multiple Work Permit# 052669632 that could not be issued. Three months later the owner decided to sell his house to the current owner.
Long story short, the current addition is not permitted by the county.
