Frequently Asked Questions
What is a zoning lookup?
A zoning lookup tells you the zoning classification for a specific property address — including the zoning code, permitted land uses, building height limits, setback requirements, floor area ratio (FAR), and lot coverage maximums. This is essential for evaluating any development site.
Is this really free?
Yes. The zoning snapshot is completely free. Enter your email to see the full property details. Full detailed reports (setbacks, FAR, permitted uses, PDF export) are available with a free Acreus account.
What does FAR mean in zoning?
FAR stands for Floor Area Ratio — the ratio of a building's total floor area to the lot size. For example, a FAR of 2.0 on a 10,000 sqft lot means you can build up to 20,000 sqft of total floor area. FAR is one of the most important zoning metrics for developers.
How accurate is the data?
We pull from public records, municipal zoning databases, and satellite data. The snapshot provides a strong starting point for site evaluation. For binding decisions, always verify with the local planning department.
