Are closets included in square footage?

Are closets included in the square footage of a house? Is there anything that's a part of the house, but doesn't count towards square footage? Thanks!

Keep in mind anything heated and cooled is typically included in the sq footage as long as it is finished space. AN unfished basement is not. so it needs to be living space. The garage is not included, patios not included. I hope this helps.

Hey Henry! Yes, closets are included in sqft. Parts of the house that are not included in the sqft would be attic space, garages, and unfinished basements.

Hi! Yes, closets are included in the square footage of your home! I work in Michigan and basements are not typically considered in the square footage (known as below grade square footage VS above grade square footage), garages, decks, porches, and attics are not considered either.
