ANSI says:

Garages, Unfinished Areas, and Protrusions
Garages and unfinished areas cannot be included in the calculation of finished square footage. Chimneys,
windows, and other finished areas that protrude beyond the exterior finished surface of the outside walls and do
not have a floor on the same level cannot be included in the calculation of square footage.
 
Another gem, Fern! Do you have any standard that you follow with respect to GLA calculations, or is it just the Fernando Handbook of Real Estate Appraisal? And if there really is a Fernando Handbook of Real Estate Appraisal - you could make a fortune in sales of said comic book.
 
If a chimney protrudes just be mindful to not Double-Dip. That 10.0005 feet could result in a "mandatory GLA adjustment".

Around Here, tax is not THE go -to. There are homes that are 20++-- years old that were never Tax- measured
& where the guess-ta-mate was provided through the initial permit when the home was dirt.
And comparing then to now ----> the builder built a different house on the lot.
How about the 2/c rear entry carport being heated GLA via the Great Tax Debacle.

I don't give a ---- what tax says except
when/if ...to disclose through Disclosure Comments any variances that may be questionable "compared to the source used in the report".

I'm seriously doubting you are an actual appraiser.
 
I wonder what question Fernando has next. Do you include brick veneers in GLA? Do you round when measuring decks?

Fernando next question is an-Indoor Pool included in the GLA ? Answer-If its in a $20,0000 Million Dollar Beverly Hills Estate then probably a yes but if its in a home in Felony Flats CA maybe its just a giant mosquito attracting puddle of mold. I will have to check with the ANSI Pool Handbook and get back with Fernando :)
