Why Zoning Assist

Answers you can check yourself

Cited, not summarized.

Each standard in your report shows the city code section behind it, so you, your architect or your attorney can check it yourselves.

Clearly labeled.

Every value carries a label: cited from the code, not regulated by the city, or flagged to confirm with the planning department. Every value is sourced, never estimated.

A first read, fast.

Get a clear first picture of one parcel, then spend your due-diligence budget only on the sites that still make sense.

Who it's for

Built for anyone who needs to know what a site allows

Developers and investors

Screen sites before you make an offer.

See the district, the cited height and setback limits, and the open questions for one parcel, then decide whether it's worth a deeper look. Architects and engineers get cited setbacks and height on day one.

Commercial brokers and business owners

Know a site's development rules before you list, pitch or sign.

Brokers can show a site's district and standards with the code section beside each one. Business owners choosing a location can see the district and site standards first.

Why you can trust it

Sourced, cited and dated

  • Cited to the code section. Every standard shows the section of the city's adopted municipal code it came from.
  • Sourced and dated. The last page lists every source and the date we read it: the city's official map and code, and FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer.
  • Checked before sale. Before a city goes on sale, a second reviewer checks its data against the code. Only cities that pass go on sale.
