Likely yes. No blocking constraint was identified in the records checked. Local requirements and site conditions still need verification. Whether your project fits depends on the city’s rules for it.
Next Confirm sewer service in writing, or order a perc test.
Strong site: dry, flat ground, seismically quiet.
Score assumes no wetland constraint. USFWS National Wetlands Inventory did not answer.
Score assumes a community water system serves this address. EPA did not answer.

What limits this score
Septic limitation not applied — servicing unknown USDA rates this soil "Very limited" for septic absorption fields, but OpenStreetMap did not answer, so nothing here establishes whether the lot sits on an established street grid with sewer service. The septic constraint is not applied to the Score. If there is no sewer, it applies in full: a standard septic system likely fails here and an engineered system can cost tens of thousands more. Confirm service with the utility, or re-run when the street read is available. (USDA SSURGO (engstafdcd); OpenStreetMap street density did not answer)
Zoning coverage: This jurisdiction publishes its zoning in a source we can’t read yet — the district identity (MF-2) is here, the dimensional standards are not.

Questions about this score
What is the Buildability Score™ for 30.29681, -97.62639?
30.29681, -97.62639 carries a Buildability Score of 85 out of 100 (grade A). The score is composed from 5 weighted factors — each cited to its federal or jurisdictional source and re-runnable live on this page.
What does a grade A mean?
Grade A reads as a near-optimal build site with few standing constraints. The grade is derived from the numeric score (85/100) on the published Buildability™ scale.
Which factor most affects 30.29681, -97.62639?
The weakest factor at this address is soil — scored 70 out of 100, which reads as suitable (every factor is scored so that higher means fewer constraints). That's the factor most likely to constrain what a design can carry, and the one to inspect first before committing capital.
What's this parcel's strongest attribute?
Flood scores 95 out of 100 — minimal risk, and the highest of the 6 factors read for this address. Higher scores mean fewer constraints, not more.
Where does the data come from?
Every factor cites the federal or jurisdictional dataset it came from — FEMA (flood), USGS (seismic), USFS (wildfire), EPA (radon), USDA/NRCS (soil), and the local jurisdiction's own zoning record where available. Sources are queried live and re-run on refresh; the score cannot outrun its data.
Does the Buildability Score account for local zoning in Austin, TX?
When Austin, TX's zoning record is on our roster, the score reads the jurisdiction's own dimensional standards for the district this parcel sits in. When it isn't, the zoning factor drops out rather than being estimated — which is why parcels in un-rostered jurisdictions still return a score, just one that doesn't count zoning.
Is this an official determination?
No. The Buildability Score™ is a preliminary due-diligence read, not an entitlement or permit approval. Governing bodies retain sole authority over binding land-use decisions. The score's role is to make the diligence conversation faster and better-grounded, not to replace it.
