BMeasurement terminology and appraisal reporting The following…3,431 ch
(B) Measurement terminology and appraisal reporting The following table lists the terms required for areas measured and calculated using the ANSI Standard and identifies where those identified areas are reported on the appraisal report forms. Measurement terminology and reporting Terms Description Appraisal reporting requirements1 Finished area Finished above-grade area as defined by the ANSI Standard. ■ Used for calculating and reporting living area ■ Rooms in the finished area must be included in the above-grade room count ■ Must be reported on the appraisal report in all Gross Living Area fields, including, as applicable: ❑ Improvements section ❑ Sales Comparison Approach grid ❑ Cost Approach Section Non-standard finished area (NSFA) Finished above-grade area that does not meet the ANSI Standard for finished area. Example: An area with a maximum ceiling height of six feet does not meet the ANSI Standard of having a minimum ceiling height of seven feet. ■ Must be reported as NSFA on the appraisal report on the first blank line of the Sales Comparison Approach adjustment grid, when applicable ■ Rooms located in NSFA must be included in the room counts in the Improvement section and in the Sales Comparison Approach grid of the appraisal report to comply with Uniform Appraisal Dataset requirements, when applicable ■ The FEATURE column of the Sales Comparison Approach grid must include “NSFA” when Measurement terminology and reporting Terms Description Appraisal reporting requirements1 used to report nonstandard finished area ■ There must be no other entries on this Sales Comparison Approach row when it is used to report NSFA Belowgrade/basement area, finished and unfinished area The ANSI Standard considers a level to be below grade if any portion of it is below grade, regardless of the quality of finish or the window area of any room. Therefore, any below-grade area, irrespective of whether the basement has finished area, would not be included in the above-grade finished area or room count. Below-grade finished and unfinished areas and rooms must be reported on the Basement & Finished Rooms Below Grade lines of the Sales Comparison Approach adjustment grid, when applicable. Above-grade unfinished area Above-grade area that is accessible from the interior finished area of the dwelling and does not meet the ANSI definition of finished area or nonstandard finished area. Example: An unfinished/storage area over an attached garage that is accessed from the hallway of the second floor of the dwelling. ■ These features and their associated finished and unfinished areas should be reported on the Additional Features field on page 1 of the appraisal report, and adjusted for in the Sales Comparison Approach grid, as appropriate ■ Measured areas must be reported separately from the primary dwelling’s measured areas, except for an attached ADU, which follows the ANSI Standard for finished and unfinished areas, as applicable Attached and detached ADUs ADU finished and unfinished areas, as defined by the ANSI Standard, must be measured and calculated using the ANSI Standard. Detached structures Detached structures that are independent of the Primary Residence are not measured and calculated using the ANSI Standard. 1The requirements for reporting the ANSI-measured areas (e.g., finished above-grade area, NSFA, etc.) in prescribed fields on the appraisal report do not apply to the PDR.

BMeasurement terminology and appraisal reporting The following…2,843 ch
(B) Measurement terminology and appraisal reporting The following table lists the terms, description and reporting requirements for properties required to be measured using the ANSI Standard and identifies where in the appraisal report those areas must be reported. The ANSI Standard considers a level to be below grade if any portion of the level is below grade, regardless of the quality of finish or window area of any room. Therefore, any below grade area, irrespective of whether the below-grade area has finished area, nonstandard finished area or unfinished area must not be included in the above-grade area(s). Terms Description Appraisal reporting requirements1 Finished Area ■ Above Grade ■ Below Grade Finished area as defined by the ANSI Standard. When applicable, this area must be identified in the appraisal report as: ■ Finished Above Grade ■ Finished Below Grade Nonstandard Finished Area ■ Above Grade ■ Below Grade Finished area with direct interior access from within the dwelling that: When applicable, this area must be identified in the appraisal report as: Terms Description Appraisal reporting requirements1 ■ Does not conform to the ANSI Standard ceiling height requirements, or ■ Can be accessed only through an unfinished area (e.g., an unfinished hallway, a room, a staircase). ■ Finished Above Grade (Nonstandard) ■ Finished Below Grade (Nonstandard) The reason the area is identified as nonstandard must be included in the Unit Interior Commentary Field of the appraisal report. The appraisal report must include the above grade nonstandard finished area rooms in the Total Rooms, Bedrooms and Bath(s) count in compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Appraisal Dataset. Unfinished Area ■ Above Grade ■ Below Grade Area(s) of the dwelling that do not conform with the ANSI Standard definition of finished area. When applicable, unfinished area must be identified in the appraisal report as: ■ Unfinished Above Grade ■ Unfinished Below Grade Noncontinuous Finished Area: Above Grade Finished area, not designated as an ADU, attached to the dwelling with no direct interior access. E.g., a family room or other finished area attached to or above an attached garage that is only accessible through the garage. Noncontinuous finished area is reported separately in the Dwelling Exterior section of the appraisal report. Multiple noncontinuous areas in the dwelling are combined and reported in the appraisal report as a single entry. 1The requirements for reporting the ANSI-measured areas (e.g., finished above grade, noncontinuous finished area) in prescribed fields on the appraisal report do not apply to the PDR. Additional structures that are not attached to the primary dwelling and include finished areas must be reported separately from the primary dwelling’s nonstandard finished above grade areas.

Operationalizing Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide 5604.2 — Exhibits and addenda for appraisal reports and PDRs
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
