6145 - Church with Sunday School

This occupancy should be used when the design of the building makes it difficult to section the Sunday school from the church.  Compared to Occupancy 6100 - Church, Basic, the design of the building is more complex (not box like), and the exterior and interior finishes are higher in quality.  The educational classroom space is finished with the same finishes as Occupancy 6155 - Educational Wing.

Allowances for church furniture, such as altars, lecterns, pulpits, and seating, are included in the valuation cost. Seating includes pews, chairs, folding chairs, and benches. These items make up 76% of the built-in cost. You can remove this cost and offset the allowance.

To remove the cost of furniture from the valuation:

  1. Generate a valuation detailed report for the valuation.
  2. From the Summary of Costs section of the report, note the amount listed for built‑ins.
  3. Multiply the total built-in cost by 0.76.
  4. Enter the negative value of that total as a custom addition for the location or building section.

Example: 1,000 (Total built-in cost) * 0.76 (Allowance percentage) = 760. Enter -760 as a custom addition.

Note: Different church occupancy types may have different allowance percentages. Refer to each occupancy for the specific percentage.
