Buildability documentation

Buildability answers one question for a parcel of land: what can be built here, and what is the record that says so. These docs cover using the product, how every number is made, and putting the checker on your own site.

Attribution

If you show the Score to others, attribute it as “Buildability Score (buildability.us)” next to the number, and keep the methodology version with any score you store. See Versions.

Buildability reads public records. Records can be wrong or out of date. Verify before you act. Nothing here is an appraisal, a survey or an official zoning determination. See Accuracy & limits.

Didn’t find it? The Help Center answers account and billing questions, and Geo answers questions about a specific parcel inside the app.
