[quote=Anonymous]The weird thing I have seen is related to the townhome that are three to four stories, that have no basement. From what I have seen the first floor (which is the entrance) does not seem to be counted in the square footage calculation by the county (considered below grade I guess) even I'd the whole first floor is finished (minus the attached garage). I have seen this quite a bit (granted it's still a relatively limited sample size of maybe like 10-15 so can't make definitive conclusion on this).

That being said, the annoying thing is how they are listed by various realtors (again looking at example of 3-4 TH without basement). Some listing include the first floor in the square footage figure in the listing (ie they don't follow how Arlington County calculated it or has in records), while others do not include the finished area of the first floor (even though it's above the ground). Makes easy comparison quite difficult without digging more (and looking at county records).[/quote]
