To correctly classify the type of dwelling, guide yourself on the criteria listed below.

This house can be located at the front, back, top, bottom, or at one side of those other houses and generally it shares the same access from the road or field.

Consider the answer you got in "property listing" for this dwelling since you should have registered two or more dwellings on the land or lot.

Duplex, triplex, or quadruplex home: This dwelling is part of a building that integrates a set of two, three, or four houses, which were built with resistant materials by a construction company and that is recognized by its symmetrical facade and because each house shares a wall, ceiling, or floor. The entrance of the dwelling can be direct from the street or by an external staircase.
