Add Multiple Occupancies to a Section

You can create one section with multiple occupancies, up to five per section. For example:

• You are creating a commercial valuation for a building that is 50% Warehouse, Light (8200) and 50% Office, Low Rise (2100). Instead of creating two sections, you can enter one section with two occupancies. In this case, you must enter the gross floor area for the entire building.
• You are creating a commercial valuation for a building that has multiple stories with the following sections: a 3-story section, a 2-story section, and a 1-story section. You can create one section with two occupancies. Note: Enter the highest number of stories for the section along with the building's gross perimeter and gross floor area. The occupancies would be entered 75% Store with Apartment Above (3401) to account for the 3-story and the 2-story portion of the building and 25% Store or Shop, General (3100) for the 1-story portion of the building.
• You are creating an agricultural valuation for a building that is 25% Milking Parlor (118) which is attached to a 75% Free Stall Barn (106). Instead of creating two sections, you can enter this as one section with two occupancies. In this instance, the gross floor area you enter is for the entire building.

Note: These examples are intended to serve as guidelines for creating valuations in Commercial Express but there may be multiple different ways to create valuations for each building.
