Understanding Measurements & Room Counts | National Appraiser Roster

I still have a problem with the way our house is measured for tax purposes. Seems to me that we ought not be taxed for more than the habitable interior square footage - i.e., the space we can use, as opposed to walls, garages, etc.

Cars and drivers need to be trained to sense and stop when a pedestrian is about to cross.
