How to verify zoning in Tucson.
Tucson zoning runs on the Unified Development Code, with the base district paired to overlay zones for historic districts, the Rio Nuevo area and environmental resource land. Much of the surrounding metro is unincorporated Pima County under separate zoning, so confirm the jurisdiction before reading the UDC against a parcel.

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.

Does Buildability make the official zoning decision in Tucson?
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 Tucson remains the local authority for project-specific decisions.
