Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial state ments do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2020 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of the Company's consolidated operations presented herein for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to seasonal variations in our operations and other factors, such as the effects of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its influence on our future results. Basis of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Our net income is equivalent to our comprehensive income, so we have not presented a separate statement of comprehensive income. In the past, we have discontinued homebu ilding operations in various markets. Results from certain of these exited markets are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented (see Note 16 for a further discussion of our discontinued operations). Our fiscal year 2021 began on October 1, 2020 and ends on September 30, 2021. Our fiscal year 2020 began on October 1, 2019 and ended on September 30, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make informed estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. Share Repurchase Program During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock. As part of this program, the Company repurchased common stock during fiscal 2019 and 2020 through open market transactions, 10b5-1 plans, and accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements. All shares have been retired upon repurchase. The aggregate reduction to stockholders’ equity related to share repurchases during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was $3.3 million and $34.6 million, respectively. No share repurchases were made during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining availability of the share repurchase program was $12.0 million. Inventory Valuation Inventory assets are assessed for recoverability no less than quarterly in accordance with the policies described in Notes 2 and 5 to the audited consolidated financial statements within our 2020 Annual Report. Homebuilding inventories that are accounted for as held for development (projects in progress) include land and home construction assets grouped together as communities. Homebuilding inventories held for development are stated at cost (including home construction costs, direct overhead costs, capitalized indirect costs, capitalized interest, real estate taxes and allocated lot costs) unless facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. For communities that have been idled (land held for future development), all applicable carrying costs, such as interest and real estate taxes, are expensed as incurred, and the inventory is stated at cost unless facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We record land held for sale at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled by applying the following five-step process specified in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. •Identify the contract(s) with a customer •Identify the performance obligations •Determine the transaction price •Allocate the transaction price •Recognize revenue when the performance obligations are met The following table presents our total revenue disaggregated by revenue stream:

in thousands | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Homebuilding revenue | $ | 566,930 |  |  | $ | 532,465 |  |  | $ | 1,538,576 |  |  | $ | 1,437,850 |
Land sales and other revenue | 4,002 |  |  | 647 |  |  | 10,784 |  |  | 2,479 |
Total revenue (a) | $ | 570,932 |  |  | $ | 533,112 |  |  | $ | 1,549,360 |  |  | $ | 1,440,329 |
(a) Please see Note 15 for total revenue disaggregated by reportable segment. Homebuilding revenue Homebuilding revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives and is generally recognized when title to and possession of the home are transferred to the buyer at the closing date. The performance obligation to deliver the home is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Home sale contract assets consist of cash from home closings held by title companies in escrow for our benefit, typically for less than five days, and are considered accounts receivable. Contract liabilities include customer deposits related to sold but undelivered homes and totaled $28.7 million and $18.9 million as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Of the customer liabilities outstanding as of September 30, 2020, $2.2 million and $17.4 million were recognized in revenue during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 upon closing of the related homes. Land sales and other revenue Land sales revenue relates to land that does not fit within our homebuilding programs and strategic plans. Land sales typically require cash consideration on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied. We also provide title examinations for our homebuyers in certain markets. Revenues associated with our title operations are recognized as closing services are rendered and title insurance policies are issued, both of which generally occur as each home is closed. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04). ASU 2020-04 provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and all entities may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
