This tag is used for marking the number of roof levels of a building (building=*) or of a building part (building:part=*).

Value should be a positive or zero integer: 0, 1, 2, etc. A level is the space between a floor and a ceiling or, for the highest level, from the floor to the highest edge of the roof. Default height of a level is 3 meters (height used for 3D rendering when height tags are not used). If a level has a different height (for example 2 meters), do not use fractional values but height tags. For example, roof:levels=1 and roof:height=2 (you can stand up in a 2 meters high roof). Or roof:levels=0 and roof:height=1 (you can't stand up in a 1 meter high roof so levels value is zero).

For more information, see building:levels=* and Usage of heights and levels.

Possible tagging mistakes

  • roof:levels=0.5 ‒ Value should be an integer, use height tags to express height information
