Fireplace included in total gross area?

The appraisal is for the client/lender not for the homeowner but sometimes they think Zillow is correct.
Whenever I find a significant discrepancy between my square footage and public records, I put disclaimers on my sketch. Hope owner sees that.

Precious Brain, IF it's an interior FP? ??? ???? YOU Twist your comments after... your Initial-Post.
YOU R correct, interior fireplaces within the interior of a house would/could be included in GLA
and NOT because it's a heat source.
Questioning: where did you GO to school & did you ever have a mentor?

My subject has fireplaces protruding from exterior. You're worse than me in assuming things.
I was making a point that fireplaces can be heating source.

OK then. YEP fireplaces have always been considered a heat source.
