Then multiply these dimensions to get the area (length x width). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the living area must include heated, finished, and accessible spaces. The area also includes attics, closets, and stairs. Sum the square footage of each area to get the total square footage of the room.

At times, this number could deviate from the data you provide to the agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the most common reasons why your data and the tax record data could be different:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"margin-top-15 margin-bottom-15 wp-block-heading\" id=\"tax-records-not-updated\"><strong>1. Tax Records Are Not Updated<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any changes in tax records may take time to reflect on online portals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have recently made any changes or additions to your home, the tax records will not reflect those. Apply to the county assessor&#8217;s website and add these changes to your records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check with the county assessor if the new square footage information is outdated. If it is, inform them and ask them for a new assessment. This will allow for a new assessment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"margin-top-15 margin-bottom-15 wp-block-heading\" id=\"renovations-without-permits\"><strong>2. Renovations Made Without Appropriate Permits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Renovations or additions like a patio or attached porch, may require permits in your county. It enables the county assessor to change the property&#8217;s square footage in their records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These changes can potentially cause problems in your home&#8217;s value and square footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"margin-top-15 margin-bottom-15 wp-block-heading\" id=\"MLS-tax-records-different-from-assessor's-tax-records\"><strong>3. Information in MLS Tax Records Differ From County Assessor&#8217;s Tax Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The county assessor&#8217;s data might not match with the tax data on the MLS. In such cases, you can obtain updated documents from the county assessor&#8217;s online portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"margin-top-15 margin-bottom-15 wp-block-heading\" id=\"no-appraisal-in-a-long-time\"><strong>4. Outdated Appraisal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A fresh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/home-appraisal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home appraisal<\/a> will serve as proof of recent square footage data. Get a new appraisal before listing your home. It would avoid potential issues if the sizes of the measured areas are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"margin-top-28 wp-block-heading\" id=\"importance\"><strong>Why Is Right Square Footage Important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right square footage directly impacts your home&#8217;s worth, tax records, and listing prices. Wrong square footage can cause you fines, tax penalties, and lawsuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/propertiesonline.com\/Reports\/annual-real-estate-trends-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">95%<\/a> of home buyers search and review homes online. Buyers trust the details you provide in the listing. False advertising of square footage can lower your home value. Additionally, wrong measurements can lead to fines from the MLS ranging from $200 to $1,500. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can avoid such penalties and get the buyer&#8217;s trust in your property with accurate value. Flat Fee MLS services like Houzeo&#8217;s can help you get all the paperwork and measurements accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"margin-top-28 wp-block-heading\" id=\"HowHZWorks\"><strong>5 Easy Steps to List on MLS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the following video to understand how to list your house on Houzeo and save on commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mainVideowrapper\">\n<div class=\"leftBlock\">\n<div class=\"innerblock\" style=\"padding-top: 0px;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JdKhjZvWa00?si=OFi7AGCQPkuaqqTH\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightBlock\">\n<p><b>How to List on MLS With Houzeo?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>5 Easy Steps to List on MLS with Houzeo as FSBO<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btnNew\" href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/register?utm_source=BlogBody&amp;utm_medium=listonmls&amp;utm_content=VideoReviewsBlock&amp;utm_term=FFM\"><i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i> Start Your MLS Listing NOW!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"margin-top-28\"><strong>\u00bb NEED MORE CLARITY?&nbsp;<\/strong>Read these exclusive&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestatequeen.com\/houzeo-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Houzeo reviews<\/a>&nbsp;and learn why it is one of the&nbsp;best FSBO sites&nbsp;in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"margin-top-28 wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-faq-schema-wrap wp-faq-schema-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-faq-schema-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ui-accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHow do I find the square footage of my house?\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ui-accordion-header-icon ui-icon ui-icon-triangle-1-s\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ui-accordion-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To calculate your home's square footage, you can hire a full-service agent or professional appraisers.
