DocsUsing Buildability
The Property Report
The free Score tells you how buildable a parcel is and why. The $99 report is the parcel’s full record: who owns it, what the zoning lets you build on this lot, what it’s worth, and every finding cited to its source.
Free and paid, line by line
The free page shows a lock on every row the report fills in, so you can see exactly what you’d be buying before you buy it.

No record, no charge
Before checkout opens, Buildability checks that it can reach the official parcel record. If it can’t, you aren’t charged. If a guest purchase can’t resolve its parcel after payment, it’s refunded automatically.
Decision and Evidence
A report opens on two views of the same parcel:
- Decision leads with the answer: what can be built here, what stands in the way, and what to do next.
- Evidence is the proof: every factor and finding with its source, its read date, and how much it can be trusted.
The buildable envelope
Where the district’s standards have been read and the lot’s outline is on record, the report fits the zoning envelope to the lot: buildable footprint and floor area, floors, maximum units and height, and the one rule that binds first. Where the standards haven’t been read, the report says so instead of estimating. See The Zoning Atlas.
Pencil It
Pencil It answers “does the deal work?” with your own numbers (proposed square feet, units, acquisition price) against cost and value bands from the record. Your inputs print in the export beside the official record, clearly marked as yours.
Included with the report
Buying the report on a parcel also covers, on that parcel, at no extra charge:
- Re-running the report, for as long as you have it
- An IC memo
- A verifiable certificate
- Design studio drafts and Geo voice
A council deck costs two reports. These are made in Documents; see Documents & certificates.
Export and print
Export → Professional report lays the report out for paper. Save as PDF opens your browser’s print dialog, where you can save it as a PDF or print it. Create certificate issues the one-page certificate.
How long a report takes
A report reads its sources live. Most finish in under 20 seconds. An address nobody has looked up recently can take up to a minute while every source answers, and the stages light as each one does.
