Which places does it cover?

Search covers Canada and the US, but zoning answers exist only in live cities. Where a fact is missing, the panel shows it as not found rather than guessing.

Is the result a permit or professional advice?

No. Address search is preliminary decision support with sources. It is not a permit, an appraisal or a professional certification. Check the cited bylaw with the municipality before you rely on a result.

Check an address

Address search The lot, the rules and the gaps.

Type an address, place or neighbourhood. The lot panel shows the zone, what you can build, the setbacks and the constraints, each tied to the bylaw behind it. Zoning answers exist only in live cities, and the panel shows what it could not find.

Search an address

A search returns more than a pin on a map.

Each result carries the facts behind it, so you can decide whether the lot deserves more of your time.

01 — Lot

Size, frontage and zone

See the lot area, the frontage and the zone before you open a single bylaw.

02 — What you can build

Units, height, storeys and floor area

Read what the zone allows and the approval route it points to, in numbers you can compare lot to lot.

03 — Setbacks

The envelope the setbacks leave

Front, rear and side setbacks, height and coverage combine into the buildable envelope for the lot.

04 — Constraints

Heritage, flood and trees

Constraints appear beside the numbers, not in a separate lookup you have to remember to run.

05 — Gaps

An "N of M facts found" count

The panel counts the facts it found, so a missing answer shows as a gap and never passes as a yes.

06 — Sources

Every rule tied to its bylaw

Each rule links back to the bylaw it came from, so you can check it before you rely on it.
