Are closets included in square footage?
Are closets included in the square footage of a house? Is there anything that's a part of the house, but doesn't count towards square footage? Thanks!

Closets inside the heated and cooled living area are included in the square footage. Storage areas that are not climate controlled, such as garages, attics, or exterior closets, are not included.

Keep in mind anything heated and cooled is typically included in the sq footage as long as it is finished space. AN unfished basement is not. so it needs to be living space. The garage is not included, patios not included. I hope this helps.

Closets are included in a home’s square footage as long as they are part of the finished interior living space. Spaces that typically do not count toward square footage include areas not intended for regular living, such as garages, unfinished attics, crawl spaces, porches, balconies, or storage areas not part of the main interior.
In general, if a space is finished, enclosed, and directly connected to the living area, it is usually included—even if it doesn’t have its own heat source.

Yes. Closets are included in a home’s square footage as long as they’re finished, enclosed, and part of the main living area. Basements and unfinished spaces are typically excluded unless they meet specific finished-space standards.

Hey Henry! Yes, closets are included in sqft. Parts of the house that are not included in the sqft would be attic space, garages, and unfinished basements.

Hi! Yes, closets are included in the square footage of your home! I work in Michigan and basements are not typically considered in the square footage (known as below grade square footage VS above grade square footage), garages, decks, porches, and attics are not considered either.
