As we prepared for an import in Hamilton County, Ohio [1], we discovered 
that the county's "estimated height" field was just the story count 
multiplied by 11 feet, and that quite a few story counts came from an 
unreliable source (thankfully noted as such). I wouldn't be surprised if 
other counties take similar shortcuts, so be sure to spot-check these 
values with any buildings you're familiar with.
