Appraisal on a Home With a Mother-in-law Suite

[Verletta Saxon]

I am in the process of purchasing a single family 5 bedroom 4 bedroom home with an attached mother-in-law suite. The home is zoned as a single family home. The appraisal recently came back and it seemed low to me so I called the appraiser to get a better understanding. The appraiser said that he did not include the mother-in-law suite (1,000 SQ ft 1 bedroom, 1 bath) in his evaluation of the home. Is this typical?
