Local findings: September 2026 review
Reviewed 2026-09-17; records observed 2026-09-15. Period: September 2025–August 2026. Findings describe that saved window; the current comparison above can advance separately.
A flat annual comparison contains a changing sequence
The review records 104 new units, compared with 106 in the preceding year. Monarda Mint Drive supplies 24 of the current units and Zip Cochise Way 23: 47 combined. That leaves 57 on the other recorded streets. A two-unit annual decrease therefore says little about which locations were receiving authorizations near the end of the reporting period.
Monarda Mint is persistent; Zip Cochise builds later
Monarda Mint appears in every month from November 2025 through August 2026. Its largest monthly contribution is five units in March. Zip Cochise first appears in March within this review window and contributes eight units in August alone. Those eight account for a substantial part of August’s ZIP-wide total of 19, while Monarda Mint contributes one that month.
Repeated addresses are a small part of this particular set
The 104 contributing records resolve to 102 base addresses. Crazy Alice Run and Lilt Drive contain the two base addresses with two units each; the other roots contribute one. For this window, following the streets offers more context than assuming the stable ZIP total represents an unchanged group of projects. Builder identity and actual construction schedules still need evidence beyond the address pattern.

Send us an address and we will tell you what we find
We do this research ourselves on every project we take on — zoning, floodplain, watershed, trees, whether it is a legal lot. Send us an address and we will run it and tell you what we find. It works the same whether you own a vacant lot, a house you are thinking of adding a unit to, or a house you are thinking of replacing. No charge and no strings, and if it is a bad lot we will say so.
Send us an addressWe are homebuilders, not the City of Austin. This page explains how we read the code in practice — it is not legal advice and it is not an official determination. Always confirm with Austin Development Services before you rely on it for a project. The authoritative text is the Austin Land Development Code; permitting questions go to Austin Development Services Department.
