08-18-2022 - Reminder: Report below-grade square footage and room levels accurately

Learn how to report room level accurately.

This reminder is from our policies on Reporting Square Footage in Canopy MLS.

If your listing has below-grade construction, the below-grade square footage and rooms must be reported as HLA Basement, Non-HLA Basement and Basement Level Rooms. If earth is adjacent to ANY portion of an exterior wall on that level, the entire level is considered below-grade.  HLA Lower, Non-HLA Lower and Lower Level Room fields are only used for above-grade construction.

Tip: If there is more than one level that is below grade all of this space must be reported in the “Basement” level.
