Overview
The LightBox Zoning API delivers authoritative parcel-level zoning data that supports critical workflows in commercial real estate (CRE), land development, and urban planning. It provides detailed information on zoning districts, setback requirements, floor area ratios (FAR), building height restrictions, and related regulations. When paired with the LightBox SmartFabric™, this API empowers customers with a robust, scalable zoning layer—eliminating the costly, manual process of sourcing zoning information from disparate municipal sources or outsourcing to third-party firms like PZR.
