Really, then every realtor I know is clueless. I pay property tax on 1800 square feet even though my lower level is finished. If I list m home tomorrow any realtor will list my home as being 1800 square feet even though I have 3600 square feet of living space. Alse a finished lower level without an exit on that level does not violate fire code in my state.
