ZIP 78728 (Howard & Tandem): homes and public records
Use the building address on Howard Lane or Tandem Boulevard to narrow your research. Registrations can report different county names under the same ZIP; confirm the parcel with the responsible county rather than treating the postal code as jurisdiction.
Development counts from the research database behind Zabalist, rolled up for the postal ZIP. Each figure names its own window. These are filings and reports, not a description of any home, block or resident, and they are never combined into a score.
Rollup generated Oct 14, 2026. A postal ZIP is not a neighborhood or jurisdiction boundary; use the street address to check whether any record is actually near a home.

What work is proposed, and what is its current status? A registration or application does not mean construction will happen.
How does the property fit your day? Check the commute at your travel time, outdoor space, building rules and total ownership costs.

THE RECORDS BEHIND YOUR RESEARCH
Project registrations in 78728
15 records shown · Up to 24 most recently registered matches per search. Commercial interiors, renovations and new construction can all appear. Registrations are not building permits or available homes.
What the statuses mean
TDLR is the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the state agency that registers commercial and public construction projects for accessibility review; its records are registrations, not building permits or inspections.
TDLR project registration: a state filing required for commercial and public construction over a cost threshold. It means a project was submitted for accessibility review, not that it was built.
Project Registered: the source records the filing as received and registered with TDLR. It says nothing about plan review, construction or occupancy.
Review Complete: the source records that TDLR’s plan review of the filing has been completed. It is not a building permit, an inspection result or proof the work was built.
TABS prefix: the number TDLR assigns to a registration in its Texas Architectural Barriers System. It identifies the record and does not describe the project.
Every other status is shown exactly as the source reports it, without interpretation.

Compiled from the shared research database powering Zabalist and Austin Texas Things. The website reads only public filing fields. No owner contacts or personal details are included.
TABS State Projects — All 254 Texas Counties. Last database sync reported: Oct 13, 2026. Source synced within the last 7 days.
Austin Site Plans — City of Austin Development Applications. Last database sync reported: Oct 13, 2026. Source synced within the last 7 days.
Project registrations and site plans describe different processes and may refer to the same development. Never add these totals together. Records are matched by the ZIP written on the filing. A filing with a missing or mistyped ZIP will not appear here, so a low count is not evidence of low activity.
Source reporting delays, missing addresses, withdrawn projects and later amendments can affect results. The database read date is not the date the government source last changed. Public filings do not establish neighborhood quality, safety, school suitability or future property values.
