Buildability™ for Cities & Government
Data version: Q2 2026 · Last updated 2026-04-21
Buildability™ gives planning departments, building & permitting offices, housing agencies, and economic development teams an embeddable property intelligence layer that deflects 50-70% of routine zoning inquiries. Residents and applicants self-serve zoning eligibility, setback lookups, ADU rules, flood zone checks, and pre-application screening — freeing staff for complex cases that require human judgment. No procurement approval, RFP, or council vote required to start a free 90-day pilot.

Direct Contract: sole source justification under $25K or full RFP response — Buildability™ handles the paperwork. Annual government contracts based on jurisdiction population and usage volume. Enterprise pricing includes unlimited lookups, dedicated support, and custom reporting.
State housing mandate compliance
ADU and housing production mandates are expanding nationwide. California SB 9 / SB 35 require duplex and ADU by-right on most residential lots. Utah HB 82 mandates internal ADUs statewide. Oregon HB 2001 requires middle housing in all cities over 10,000 population. 12+ additional states have active legislation. Buildability™ tracks compliance at the parcel level — showing which lots are eligible, which mandates apply, and where production gaps exist — so cities can demonstrate compliance and plan proactively.
Coverage and data
Buildability™ covers all 50 U.S. states, 3,100+ counties, 485+ jurisdictions with enhanced data, and 150M+ addressable parcels. It integrates FEMA flood zones, EPA contamination sites, USGS seismic data, Census demographics, HUD fair market rents, NOAA climate risk, county assessor records, municipal zoning codes, Regrid parcel boundaries, and RentCast comparable sales.
