    The answers that actually matter.

    Most zoning research takes hours of digging through government websites. ZoneScore gives you the three things every real estate decision starts with.

    01

    What can be built here?

    Permitted uses, ADU rights, STR status, duplex and multifamily eligibility — color-coded and tappable.

    02

    What are the real limits?

    Height limits, FAR, minimum lot sizes, and coverage maximums pulled from the official zoning ordinance.

    03

    Does this property have upside?

    Stability and Opportunity scores show you how likely the zone is to hold — and what it could support.

    Zoning is one of the biggest drivers of property value.

    Most buyers, sellers, and investors make decisions without ever reading the zoning code. ZoneScore closes that gap.

    “Land use regulations are among the most significant determinants of property value and development feasibility in U.S. real estate markets.”

    Urban Land Institute — Land Use and Value Research

    “Zoning restrictions reduce housing supply and significantly affect prices, with restrictive zoning associated with higher land values and constrained development potential.”
