Zoning
API Information
Version:v1.7.0
Region:US
Used for:Supporting development feasibility, site selection, zoning due diligence, and land use analysis by integrating standardized zoning districts and development regulations into property and geospatial workflows.
Overview
The LightBox Zoning API provides standardized zoning information sourced from local jurisdictions across the United States. Zoning records can include zoning district classifications, permitted land uses, setbacks, floor area ratios (FAR), building height limits, lot coverage, density requirements, and other development regulations. Zoning information can be connected to LightBox parcels and other property entities, enabling developers and analysts to incorporate land use regulations into property research, development feasibility, site selection, due diligence, and planning workflows. By standardizing zoning information from disparate local sources, LightBox provides a consistent way to access and analyze zoning data across jurisdictions.
