Skip the GIS. Visualize zoning queries in one place with the Land Use Labs Platform.

Any address shown on our coverage map, which is continually expanding.

For each location, we return the jurisdiction, every zoning district that applies (with its name, abbreviation, and type), and the applicable zoning rules, including use treatments, minimum lot sizes, setbacks, lot coverage, parking requirements, height limits, floor-area ratios, and more. See our documentation for the full list.

We return every zoning district that applies, keeping the base district and any overlay districts separate.

WGS84 (EPSG:4326), on both the Platform and the API.

Create an account with Google, Microsoft, or your email address, then choose a plan on the Account page. The meter on the bottom left of the page shows how many credits you have remaining. To look up zoning information for an individual site, search the Platform for an address or lat/lon coordinates, or drop a pin directly on the Platform map. To look up many locations at once, send addresses or lat/lon coordinates to our API from your own software, using the API key on the API page. API searches use the same credits as the map.

Yes. You can invite up to 4 colleagues (for a total of 5 seats) to your subscription from the API page, and there is no per-seat charge. Pending invitations count toward the 5 seats. Everyone on a subscription shares its plan, credits, API keys, and search history. Invitations are sent by email, expire after 7 days, and must be accepted from an account that uses the invited email address. Everyone you add has full access, including managing API keys, billing, and other members.

We keep your full search history and results for up to one year, including after a paid plan ends. Your dashboard shows your recent searches, and you can load older ones or export them as a CSV.

If you are an individual, nonprofit organization, university, or private company, you can redistribute, display, or embed Land Use Labs information on closed platforms that you operate for subscribers or employees, but not on platforms open to the public or integrated into government websites. View our License for Online Information Services to learn more about the terms and conditions of this product. For uses not covered by that license, please contact us to discuss terms.

One credit is one search that returns zoning information, including a search that confirms a location has no zoning. Searches outside our coverage, and searches that fail, do not use a credit. Address suggestions as you type, and the address shown when you drop a pin, are also free.

Yes. Your subscription has one set of credits, and there are two ways to use them: searching on the Platform map, or sending requests from your own software to our API. Either way, each search that returns zoning information uses one credit from the same limit. You do not need to use the API to use the Platform map.

There are no overage charges. Your plan's credit limit is a hard cap: once you reach it, further searches are declined until your credits renew on your monthly billing date, and declined searches are not charged. If you need more, upgrade to Pro, or contact us about an Enterprise plan for higher volume.

Upgrades take effect immediately and start a new billing period: you get the new plan's full credits right away, and you pay its price minus a credit for the unused time on your old plan. Downgrades take effect at the end of your billing period, so you keep your current plan and its credits until then. Credits renew on your monthly billing date.

If a payment fails, we retry it for about a week, and your access continues during that time. When a paid plan ends, your API keys move to the free Demo plan: they keep working, but new searches are limited to Lafayette, Colorado. Your past searches remain available for up to one year.

Self-serve plans are paid by card (including Apple Pay and Google Pay) or Link. For invoicing, ACH, or wire transfer, contact us about an Enterprise plan.

Replace the exposed key right away on the API page. The old key stops working the moment you replace it, so anything still using it will fail. Each subscription has a primary and a secondary key: to avoid downtime, move your code to the other key first, then replace the exposed one. If both keys were exposed, replace both. Searches made with an exposed key count against your credits, so contact us at support@landuselabs.com if you see usage you don’t recognize.

No. For security, each key is shown only once, when it is created. Replace the key on the API page to get a new one.
