Zoning data should be
accessible to everyone

The problem

There are over 20,000 zoning jurisdictions in the United States. Each one has its own code, its own zone names, its own rules. R-1 in Austin means something different than R-1 in Phoenix. The only way to know what you can build on a specific property is to find the right ordinance, find the right section, and interpret the rules for that specific parcel.

For land acquisition teams evaluating 10-50 sites per month, this means hours of manual research per site — or $200-500 per consultant call. The data is public, but it's buried in PDFs, scattered across municipal websites, and written in language designed for planners, not developers.

What we're building

Nearby Property parses zoning ordinances, county assessor records, and GIS data to generate a complete property profile for any address — permitted uses, setbacks, density limits, buildable area, overlay restrictions, and nearby development activity. In plain English, not planner jargon.

We combine the data that's spread across county GIS portals, municipal codes, and assessor databases into one place. The goal: what takes 2 hours of manual research should take 60 seconds.

Company

We're based in the Southeast and focused on making property intelligence accessible to regional builders, independent investors, and land acquisition teams — not just enterprise companies with six-figure data budgets.
