We'd rather you checked before you talked to anyone. The live table at https://buckybuild.com/en/coverage lists every municipality we support, what we hold for each, and what we haven't finished yet. It is rendered from the same coverage state the product reads, not from a hand-maintained list. ## How to read coverage Coverage isn't one thing. A municipality can have excellent parcel data and no digitised zoning, or complete zoning text with no mapped overlays. Bucky reports five layers per municipality: | Layer | What it means | Why it matters | |---|---|---| | Parcels | Boundaries, dimensions, identifiers | Without it, we can't tell you what you own or how big it is | | Zoning districts | The mapped zone for each parcel | Determines which rules apply at all | | Zoning rules | Setbacks, height, coverage, density, parking — cited to the bylaw | Determines what you can build | | Overlays | Heritage, floodplain, environmental, special districts | These override the base zone and are where projects die late | | Development activity | Applications and approvals nearby | Precedent for what's actually getting approved | Each municipality is marked on all five, with the date we last refreshed it. ## Status values - **Live** — answering for addresses today. - **In progress** — being onboarded; data is partial and not yet answering in the product. - **Available** — we hold this layer. Open any parcel in the product to see the source and what it does not contain. - **Not yet** — not yet. Where we don't hold data, Bucky tells you that instead of estimating. An assumption you can see is worth more than a number you can't check. Bucky does not claim universal coverage, and does not use the word "verified" without stating who verified what and when. Municipalities catalogued for research but not yet holding data are counted on the page and not listed. ## What we do when data is missing We say so. Bucky marks any answer that rests on an assumption rather than a cited source, and it tells you what would need verifying to firm it up. You'll see this as an open question in the analysis, not as a silent gap. Pre-development decisions get defended to clients, lenders, councils and partners; an answer you can't source is a liability, not a shortcut. ## Where the data comes from | Layer | Typical source | |---|---| | Parcels | Municipal and regional open-data GIS, provincial/state registries | | Zoning districts | Official municipal zoning maps and GIS layers | | Zoning rules | The zoning bylaw or ordinance text itself, section by section | | Overlays | Municipal overlay layers, conservation and floodplain authorities, heritage registers | | Development activity | Municipal application and decision records | We extract from the official source wherever one exists. Where a municipality publishes only a PDF bylaw, we structure the text and keep the pointer back to the clause. ## Requesting a municipality We add municipalities continuously, and demand decides the order. If you work somewhere we don't cover, tell us at https://buckybuild.com/en/request-municipality — it's the strongest signal we get. ## Sitemap See the full [sitemap](/sitemap.md) for all pages.
