Is split level consider 1 storied or 2 storied?

UAD Standardization

# of Stories
The appraiser must indicate the number of stories for the subject property. Do not use any designators or descriptors, such as ‘1 story’ or ‘one story and a half.’
For condominiums, the appraiser must enter the number of stories for the building in which the subject unit is located.
Reporting Format:
# of Stories – Numeric to 2 decimal places

# of Stories – Numeric to 2 decimal places

My bold. Which would indicate that 1.50 stories is acceptable

If ANY part of a story is below grade, it is not to be included into the GLA. This is quite clear. Even if three sides are at grade and the fourth is even slightly below grade (i.e., window is a foot above grade) do not include it into the GLA and floor count.

How you handle the value of it is up to you (i.e., using comps with same situation).

It's one-story if below each of the 2 (I surmise) levels there is basement, crawl, or slab.

Around here. This is a split level. Call it what you want. But there are two levels above grade

I'd never seen such a strange split level in my life.
I'm talking about a typical split main level over a garage.

they do have books, and definitions, on what they are called w/samples. some of yous should learn the proper term, instead of being so colloquial.
you're giving the 'profession' a bad name. might as well have a non appraiser do your work. hey, looks like your neighbor did the appraisal.
interesting thoughts here, once your head stops hurting.
