INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLASSIFYING RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
Residential buildings are buildings containing one or more
housing units. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a
group of rooms or a single room intended for occupancy as
separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in
which the occupants live separately from any other individuals in
the building and which have a direct access from the outside of
the building or through a common hall.

PERMITS TO INCLUDE
• privately-owned residential buildings, which include all
residential buildings owned or partially owned by a private
company or an individual during the period of construction
• housing for the elderly, such as assisted living facilities, that do
not have 24-hour skilled nursing care
• "turnkey" housing, which is housing that will be sold to a local
public housing authority when completed
• all housing built by nonprofit organizations
• buildings manufactured partially off-site and transported and
assembled at the construction site, such as prefabricated,
paneled, pre-cut, sectional and modular (these do not include
"mobile-HUD inspected" homes)
• foundation and interior finishing permits only when issued
separately and a valuation of construction is shown (Include
data on the proper line item depending on the number of
housing units in the intended superstructure. Enter zero for the
buildings and units in Items 101–105.)

FORM C-404 (4-11-2007)

PERMITS TO EXCLUDE
• publicly-owned buildings
• manufactured (mobile-HUD inspected) homes including
related foundations and pads
• group quarters, such as dormitories, jails, nursing homes, etc.
• hotels/motels

• farm buildings, such as silos, barns, etc.
• residential additions, alterations, renovations and conversions
• other structures on residential property, such as sheds,
garages, pools, etc.
MISCELLANEOUS CLASSIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Enter a building in only one category. If you cannot determine
a category, please call our staff on 1–800–845–8244.
• If a building has mixed residential and nonresidential use,
enter the housing units based on the residential portion of
the building. Please estimate the valuation based on the
residential portion of the building only.
• Classify all buildings that are being totally re-built on an
existing foundation as new construction.
• Type of ownership (e.g. condominium, cooperative, timeshare,
etc.) is NOT considered when classifying a building.
