Starting April 1, 2022, appraisers have been required to use the Square Footage-Method for Calculating: ANSI® Z765-2021 (American National Standards Institute®) Measuring Standard for measuring, calculating, and reporting gross living area (GLA) and non-GLA areas of subject properties for appraisals requiring interior and exterior inspections on loans sold to Fannie Mae.

This change for measuring square footage can differ from the Central Appraisal District and/or prior MLS listings.
