Topic 3. Space Requirements

March 28, 2019

This Chapter has been revised in its entirety.

a. Space Requirements

Each living unit must have sufficient space for:

living,

sleeping,

cooking and dining, and

sanitary facilities.

b. Non-Standard Construction

Non-standard house styles which may be unique in a market area, for example, log houses, earth sheltered houses, dome houses, and houses with lower than normal ceiling heights, must meet any local building codes. The appraiser must consider the marketability of the home in the appraisal.
