Building

Used to identify individual buildings or groups of connected buildings. See Buildings for further details of usage of this tag and man_made=* for tagging of various other structures.

Key	Value	Comment
Accommodation
building	apartments	A building arranged into individual dwellings, often on separate floors. May also have retail outlets on the ground floor. How does one map the retail elements? Use `building:levels=*` for the total number of floors.
building	dormitory	For a shared building, as used by college/university students (not a share room for multiple occupants as implied by the term in British English). Would 'hall_of_residence' be better?
building	hotel	A building designed with separate rooms available for overnight accommodation. Normally used in conjunction with `tourism=hotel` for the hotel grounds including recreation areas and parking.
building	house	A single dwelling unit inhabited by family or small group sharing facilities such as a kitchen. Houses forming half of semi-detached pair of one of a row of terraced houses should share at least two nodes with joined neighbours, thereby defining the party wall between the properties.
building	residential	A general tag for a building used primarily for residential purposes. Where additional detail is available consider using one or more areas tagged as 'apartments', 'terrace' or 'house'.
building	terrace	A single way used to define the outline of a linear row of residential dwellings, each of which normally has its own entrance, which form a terrace (row-house in North American English). Consider defining each dwelling separately using 'house'.
Commercial
building	commercial	A building where non-specific commercial activities take place; use `office=*` to describe the type of office. Consider tagging tha area using `landuse=commercial`. Use 'retail' if the building consists primarily of shops.
building	industrial	A building where some industrial process takes place. Use warehouse if the purpose is known to be primarily for storage/distribution. Consider using `landuse=industrial` for the surrounding area and the proposed `industrial=*` tag to describe the industrial activity.
building	retail	A building primarily used for selling goods are sold to the public; use `shop=*` to identify the sort of goods sold. Consider use `landuse=retail` for the surrounding area. How is one meant to indicate that there is also residential accommodation or office use above?
building	warehouse	A building primarily used for the storage or goods or as part of a distribution system.
Civic/amenity
building	cathedral	A building that was built as a cathedral. Used in conjunction with `amenity=place_of_worship`, `religion=` and `denomination=` for the cathedral grounds where it is in current use.
building	chapel	A building that was built as a chapel. Used in conjunction with `amenity=place_of_worship`, `religion=` and `denomination=` for the chapel grounds where it is in current use.
building	church	A building that was built as a church. Used in conjunction with `amenity=place_of_worship`, `religion=` and `denomination=` for the church grounds where it is in current use.
building	civic	For any civic amenity, for example community_centre, library, public toilets, sports_centre, swimming_pool, town-hall etc. Use `amenity=` or `leisure=` etc to provide further details.
building	hospital	A building which forms part of a hospital. Use `amenity=hospital` for the hospital grounds.
building	school	For any generic school buildings. Buildings for specific uses (sports halls etc) should be tagged for their purpose. Use `amenity=school` for the perimeter of the school grounds.
building	train_station	A train station building. Or is it building=station?
building	transportation
building	university	A university building. Use `amenity=university` for the whole university area.
