In Portland OR, a finished basement is NOT included in the square footage, even though it may have egress and finished bathrooms, master bedroom, laundry, and office or family room space.  It is always wise to check with the local appraisers before remodeling your basement in anticipation of adding square footage.  Even though it IS up to code and extremely nice, some places don't count it.  And you don't want to find out after the remodel....like me!  :(

There is some variation from community to community as to what is included.   In general it is living area that is all contiguous with HVAC.   The garage and attic are never included.  A finished basement may be included in some areas if if fits certain code rules about access/egress (very community dependent).  Unfinished basement is never part of the square footage.
