FAQ
Questions
Is the map really free?
Yes. Search any address or tap a lot to see its zoning district, with no sign-in. You only pay if you order a report.
Where does the zoning data come from?
From public sources: municipal and county zoning maps (GIS), official zoning codes, tax parcel records and federal flood maps. Coverage varies by town. Where a town hasn't put its zoning map online, we link to its official map and code.
What's the difference between Instant and Premium?
An Instant report is produced automatically from public data and arrives as a PDF in minutes. A Premium report goes deeper (what you can build by right and what's realistic with approvals), adds the owner & tax record from the public tax roll where it is published, and is reviewed by our zoning team before delivery.
Where does the owner information in a Premium report come from?
From the public property tax roll published by the state or county (owner of record, the address the tax bill is mailed to, assessed value, and taxes where the source publishes them). It is public record, shown as the government source publishes it, with the source and the date we read it. Some places withhold owner names (New Jersey and Maryland do statewide) or do not publish the tax-bill address in their public file, and a roll can lag a recent sale, so please verify with the county before relying on it. Owner and tax information comes from public records and is provided for property research only. It may not be used for credit, employment, insurance or tenant-screening decisions (it is not a consumer report under the FCRA).
Is this an official zoning determination?
No. Reports are for information only and are not legal, engineering or survey advice. Only the municipality can make an official determination. Always verify with the town, an attorney and a surveyor before you rely on it.
How do I pay?
Check out as a guest with your name, email and phone, then pay by card on Stripe’s secure checkout page (one report per card payment). Pro members' included reports are covered by the plan, and extra reports are charged at the Pro price. A promo code can bring the total down, or to $0.
Can I order several addresses at once?
Yes. Add each lot to your cart from the map, then check out once.
What's Pro?
A monthly plan for people who order often: $125 a month includes 1 premium report and 8 instant reports. After that, $79 per premium and $10 per instant report. To start, sign up for Pro. We'll email you a secure payment link to activate it. You sign in with a code we email you, no password.
