State radon regulatory index

Every state we serve in one machine-readable table: credentialing regime, issuing agency, disclosure mechanism, and whether the state requires testing or mitigation. Generated from the platform registry, not transcribed.

Methodology

The question this answers

For each state this platform serves, who credentials radon work, how does radon reach a seller disclosure, and is anything actually required?

How a row comes to exist

  • Rows are generated at build time from the state resource registry that also renders the /states/ pages, so the table and the prose cannot disagree.
  • The regime and disclosure classifications are assigned by parsing the registry’s own licensing and disclosure descriptions against fixed patterns, rather than being typed a second time.
  • Market and city counts are computed from the route registry, so they equal the number of pages actually published.

Inclusion and exclusion

  • A state appears when this platform publishes at least one market in it and maintains a resource centre for it.
  • States we do not serve are excluded rather than estimated.

What this dataset cannot tell you

  • This is a structural index, not a compliance reference. Fee schedules, renewal cycles, form numbers, and application requirements change and are deliberately not included — the named agency is authoritative for those.
  • The testing and mitigation columns record that no state indexed requires either of an existing home. They do not speak to new-construction requirements, which vary and have changed in several states.
  • Classification into three regimes is a simplification of instruments that differ in detail. Read the state page before relying on the label.
