Basic principles of design state that there should be an absolute minimum of 200sqft per human occupant, this is also used to establish legal housing implications in custodial hearings. Ideally, the minimum square footage of a residence will be set at 800sqft for two persons and 200sqft per additional human occupant. Occupancy of pets would be at the discretion of the owner/local health department, but 50sqft/pet is suggested.

Is the square footage of your house part of your lot?

Yes and no. If the home is a one story, then obviously whatever the square footage of it is, is what square footage of land is underneath it. Now, if you have a two story home you wouldn't be able to use the square footage. You may ask why is that. Because now your square footage is equal to up and down stairs. In turn this will double the square footage. I wanted to add to this question that most lots are meassured by length and width. So lets say your length is 130 FT and your width is 60 FT, You multiply the two numbers and come up with the square footage of your lot, 7800square feet.
