Outbuilding

The Outbuilding section provides information about additional structures on the site, other than the main residence(s). Examples include standalone ADUs, barns, and pool houses. Outbuilding characteristics determine the amount of additional information reported.

This section provides space for additional commentary, exhibits, and any apparent defects, damages, or deficiencies.

The Outbuilding section displays when ImprovementType (UID: 0300.0009, FID: Not on report) = "Outbuilding". The subsection repeats for each outbuilding. The information that displays in the Outbuilding section varies depending on whether the outbuilding is real property and whether it contains an ADU. When an outbuilding is not considered real property, an abbreviated version of the outbuilding section displays. (Figure 12 - 3)

Display all outbuildings that are real property followed by any that are not real property.

Additional Exhibits#

• Additional images included must be delivered using ImageCategoryType (UID: 1400.0638, FID: 12.026.1) = "OutbuildingExhibit".
• An image caption should be included using ImageCaptionCommentDescription (UID: 1400.0640, FID: 12.026.2).

Outbuilding - Arcrole Relationships#

Arcrole relationships establish "relationships" or linkages in the XML data file that may be visually obvious on the URAR Report. In the XML data specific instances of data points or containers must be connected to properly represent the information.

• Containers or datapoints to be linked are identified using "xlink:label."
• The RELATIONSHIP container holds the xlink:arcrole, xlink:from, and xlink:to attributes that describe the data relationships.

DEFECT to IMPROVEMENT#

Deliver RELATIONSHIP to associate the defect to the applicable instance of IMPROVEMENT where the ImprovementType = "Outbuilding". One RELATIONSHIP container is required for each defect identified on the exterior of the dwelling.

Refer to the section Arcrole/Data Relationships in the MISMO XML Version 3.6 chapter for additional information.
