How to verify zoning in Atlanta.
Atlanta zoning sits in Part 16 of the City Code, but the practical path runs through the Neighborhood Planning Unit (NPU) system: rezonings, variances and special-use permits go to the NPU covering the site for review before the Zoning Review Board hears them. Budget for that civic step — it is scheduled, public, and not optional.

How it works
Available data, one preliminary view.
Buildability geocodes the address, queries available flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, and zoning context, and runs the published Buildability Score. Reports name the sources used and the items that still need local verification.

No. Buildability organizes preliminary property context and links to local evidence.
What does the Buildability Score measure?
The preliminary score considers nine factors: zoning, flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, utilities, terrain, and lot geometry. Availability and depth vary by address and source; City of Atlanta remains the local authority for project-specific decisions.
