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)
Each factor is scored 0–100. Higher means fewer constraints.

4 PARKSIDE LN, SANDY, UT, 84092 carries a Buildability Score of 88 out of 100 (grade A). The score is composed from 4 weighted factors — each cited to its federal or jurisdictional source and re-runnable live on this page.
Grade A reads as a near-optimal build site with few standing constraints. The grade is derived from the numeric score (88/100) on the published Buildability™ scale.
The weakest factor at this address is seismic — scored 55 out of 100, which reads as moderate risk (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.
Terrain scores 93 out of 100 — near flat, and the highest of the 6 factors read for this address. Higher scores mean fewer constraints, not more.
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.
When Sandy city, UT'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.
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.
