What it does

Finds the zoning designation and allowed uses for a property address

Takes a property address and searches public zoning records and municipal GIS sites for the current classification. Returns the zoning code, a written description of allowed uses, and any restrictions that apply (setbacks, height, use limits) where the source surfaces them. Useful early in project planning when the permitted use of a site is still an open question.

When you’d reach for it

  • Confirming a property is zoned for the intended use before committing to a project.
  • Checking whether a commercial installation is permitted at a residential address before scoping a job.
  • Pulling zoning context on a site during a feasibility review for a new development.
