Permitting & Zoning

Cloud-based AI platform for early-stage urban design, massing, and microclimate analysis.

The permitting placement is limited to zoning-responsive envelope generation through the documented Zoneomics integration rather than a permit-filing workflow; C5 4/5 reflects the integration stack, and C3 2/5 reflects Autodesk-platform onboarding weight.

Cloud-based early-phase urban planning, site feasibility, and generative design platform that connects spatial design with GIS data, financial modeling, and AI-driven analysis for developers, architects, and planners.

The permitting placement is zoning-envelope analysis inside the 3D massing workflow rather than permit filing. C2 3/5 reflects the documented Workspace API and JavaScript SDK, and C1 4/5 reflects the usable free tier plus self-serve entry pricing.

AI-powered zoning data platform standardizing municipal zoning ordinances across 25,000+ U.S. cities and 14,000+ Canadian/US cities for the Bassett AI assistant. Delivers zoning districts, permitted uses, FAR/height/setback/coverage controls, and overlays in four formats: web platform, tiered zoning reports (Brief/Summary/Full/Verification Letter), a documented Zoning Data API with a free tier (100,000 free API calls on the Tiling Service tier), and Bulk Data. Powers the zoning data layer inside TestFit (Site Solver) and Autodesk Forma (Autodesk-Zoneomics partnership Aug 2024). Also a Moody's data partner.

Best agent-accessible zoning data layer in this set -- a documented REST API with a genuine 100K-call free tier (Tiling Service), confirmed integrations powering TestFit and Autodesk Forma, and a Moody's data partnership give it credible third-party validation; limitations are that full parcel-level API plans are quote-based and the Bassett AI assistant coverage is US/Canada only.

Nationwide parcel data platform covering 160M+ parcels across 100% of U.S. counties plus major Canadian provinces, with standardized boundaries, ownership records, addresses, building footprints, and land-use/zoning codes for major metropolitan areas. Provides four access methods: web map/app, REST Data API (self-serve Standard and Premium schema tiers with 30-day free sandbox), Bulk Data, and a vendor-native MCP server (regrid.com/mcp) compatible with Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Cursor. Best agent access in the permitting/zoning data set. Formerly landgrid.com. Data refreshes average ~159 days per UP42 documentation.

C2 5/5 reflects the vendor-native MCP server plus the documented REST API and 30-day sandbox. The permitting placement is parcel and zoning data access rather than permit filing; C4 3/5 reflects the GeoJSON and bulk-data delivery surface, while standardized zoning coverage is limited to major metro areas and average refresh lag is about 159 days.

AI platform for property feasibility analysis, zoning compliance, and automated permit review for AEC and real estate.

The permitting placement is the automated zoning-compliance and permit-feasibility scan described on the product surface; C2 4/5 reflects the public API, and C5 3/5 reflects the planning-portal integration.

AI-driven site layout and unit-mix generator for residential and mixed-use development feasibility.

The permitting placement is tied to the documented Zoneomics integration in the residential site-layout workflow rather than a standalone permit-submittal system; C2 2/5 reflects no public API and Revit-add-in-only scripting.

Parcel-level zoning intelligence and real estate feasibility platform combining a patented zoning rules engine with 3D scenario planning -- ZoneIQ enables real-time development capacity analysis for any parcel or assemblage, including zoning allowances, density, setbacks, and allowed uses; offers a Zoning Data API for programmatic access.

C2 4/5 reflects the documented Zoning Data API, C1 3/5 reflects the free trial plus USD 999 per-report pricing alongside quote-based subscriptions, and C3 3/5 reflects a guided workflow rather than instant self-serve coverage across all markets.

A browser-based, AI-assisted design platform that takes architects from concept and massing through BIM-ready models with export to Revit and Rhino.

This placement is limited to manual zoning-constraint inputs inside the concept model; C4 3/5 reflects RVT, IFC, DWG, FBX, PDF, and SKP export, and C2 2/5 reflects no public API, CLI, or scripting.

Dedicated traffic control plan (TCP) and temporary work-zone design software -- RapidPlan (Windows desktop) and RapidPlan Online (web) let traffic professionals draw MUTCD-compliant temporary traffic control plans on Google Maps/Mapbox basemaps with built-in sign/device libraries, custom sign editors, batch export, and automated road layout tools; also offers RapidPath for swept-path vehicle manoeuvre analysis; used by over 10,000 businesses and government agencies worldwide, including Portland Bureau of Transportation.

C1 4/5 reflects public pricing at $540/year for RapidPlan Online and $799/year for RapidPlan Desktop with a 14-day trial. RF2 keeps C2 2/5 because no public API or CLI is documented, and C4 2/5 reflects PDF, SVG, CAD, KML, and KMZ file-based exchange in a traffic-control-plan workflow.

Pole attachment and joint use management software for utilities, engineering firms, and broadband attachers -- combines mobile data collection (ground-level photo capture), make-ready engineering design with built-in NESC violation detection and SPIDAcalc pole loading integration, and workflow management with FCC shot-clock compliance tracking.

RF1 keeps C1 3/5 because pricing is quote-required even with month-to-month contracting, and C2 2/5 reflects no documented public API or CLI. C4 3/5 reflects GIS and CSV exchange, and C5 3/5 reflects the SPIDAcalc and generic GIS integrations in a joint-use permitting workflow.

AI permitting and compliance platform that codifies local zoning and building codes into interactive maps and instant compliance checks, enabling municipalities to issue permits automatically for solar, ADU, and other project types.

C1 3/5 reflects usage pricing from $50 per plan check, C5 3/5 reflects integrations with Accela, Tyler Technologies, Central Square, CityWorks, eTRAKiT, and UpCodes, and C2 2/5 reflects referenced APIs and webhooks without a public developer portal.

AI property-intelligence web tool that turns any US address or APN into a scaled, editable site plan in about 60 seconds, assembling parcel boundaries, setbacks, aerial imagery, and topography (from county/ESRI GIS) plus building-code checks and cost estimates. Self-serve per-project access; delivered through a GUI web app with no public API. Based in Mountain View, CA.

The permitting placement is setback and code-check screening on the generated site plan; C1 4/5 reflects self-serve per-project access, and RF2 keeps C2 1/5 because delivery is a GUI web app with no public API.

Cloud-based permitting, licensing, code-enforcement, plan-review, and inspections platform for local government agencies, sold in two tiers: Enterprise (configurable permitting/case-management for large jurisdictions) and Launch (a faster-to-deploy edition for small/mid-size governments, the former "Camino Technologies" product, acquired May 2023 and rebranded Clariti Launch in October 2024). Clariti also acquired CivCheck (AI-powered guided plan review) in October 2025.

Broad, actively-developed permitting/licensing platform (5th consecutive GovTech 100 recognition, new municipal wins through early 2026, an Oct 2025 AI plan-review acquisition) with native Bluebeam/Esri/ProjectDox integrations; Capterra and GetApp both independently list a starting price of $1,800/user/year for the Basic plan, so the pricing-wall no longer applies, though onboarding is still a 6-12 month vendor-led implementation and no public data-export or developer-API documentation was found.

SaaS that turns an address into zoning-validated 3D massing with multi-parcel unit-yield and density comparison for pre-acquisition feasibility. Self-serve with a public pricing page: $99/month base for unlimited site screening and zoning analysis, plus feasibility credits from $299/site for 3D modeling and exports to BIM platforms. GUI web app with no public API. Based in NYC.

The permitting placement is zoning validation during feasibility screening; C1 4/5 reflects public self-serve pricing, and RF2 keeps C2 1/5 because delivery is a GUI web app with no public API.

Utility pole joint use and attachment permitting software from Varasset (acquired by Univerus) -- designed for pole owners to manage third-party attachment applications, make-ready workflows, permitting, and compliance tracking with an open REST API and field inspection tools.

RF1 keeps C1 2/5 because pricing is quote-required, and C2 3/5 reflects the documented open REST API. C4 2/5 reflects GIS and CSV exchange, and C5 2/5 reflects Microsoft Dynamics plus generic GIS integrations in a joint-use permitting workflow.

Cloud-based commercial real estate GIS mapping platform providing parcel data, ownership portfolios, a national zoning layer (223,000+ digitized zoning reports added via LightBox's acquisition of PZR -- The Planning & Zoning Resource Company -- in June 2022), natural hazards, school zones, demographics, aerial imagery, and GIS overlays. Used by appraisal firms, brokers, lenders, and CRE developers for site selection, property research, and zoning due diligence. Self-service web GIS; no public developer API. Starting at $8,400/year per Capterra; enterprise configurations are quote-based.

Situational for CRE zoning due diligence -- the PZR acquisition (June 2022) added 223K+ digitized zoning reports and a national zoning layer, making LandVision a credible source for zoning research in a CRE context; but no public API (RF2), $8,400/yr+ pricing (RF1), and a GIS-platform UX position it as a CRE analyst tool rather than a design-workflow or agent-accessible resource.

AI-powered real estate development and site-selection platform covering 126+ US cities (NYC five boroughs, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Miami, and others). Core capabilities: automated zoning reports with 20+ computed values per parcel (buildable area by FAR, lot coverage, max units, height limits), city-wide property screening by total buildable area, a "Zoning Signal" algorithm detecting how municipal zoning changes alter development potential, 3D massing and financial pro forma generation, a ChatDB demographic/economic data query tool, and AIM (deal-flow CRM). Founded 2017. No public API.

Useful for zoning due diligence in covered cities -- buildable FAR, max units, setbacks, and height limits computed per parcel across 126+ US cities with 3D massing and "Zoning Signal" change-detection, but coverage is limited to specific calibrated cities (not nationwide), no public API (RF2), and tiered pricing from $99/month with no free tier.

AI-powered permit prep, research, submission, coordination, and issuance-tracking SaaS spanning 7,000+ US jurisdictions for contractors, developers, and architects, automating AHJ research and application filing/tracking.

RF1 and RF2 cap C1 and C2 because pricing is quote-only and no public API, CLI, or MCP is documented. C5 3/5 reflects the Procore Marketplace app and Assignar integration, and the documented file surface is PDF plan-set submission.

AI pre-development analysis platform for US commercial real estate, unifying site screening, zoning rights, FAR/overlay/density analysis, financial feasibility scenarios, entitlement/permit viability, and natural/market risk mapping into one workflow. Founded by Chris Vardanyan and Avag Simonyan; domain registered November 2024; has presented at CBRE Glendale HQ and secured initial investment. Very early-stage as of 2026.

Situational and very early-stage -- the AI zoning/FAR/overlay/density analysis for US CRE pre-development addresses a real need, but the domain is ~20 months old (Nov 2024), no pricing is published, no public API exists, and third-party coverage is limited to Armenian business media and a YouTube demo; evaluate only if you are willing to be an early adopter of a pre-product-market-fit tool.

AI-assisted construction-permitting platform (LiteTable code-compliance engine) paired with a full-service, in-house licensed Private Plan Review team that manages permit submittals, code review, agency coordination, and issuance across roughly 2,000 U.S. jurisdictions for national retail/QSR/banking/multifamily builders and developers, cutting typical 90-120+ day approval timelines to 21-45 days.

RF1, RF2, and RF3 keep C1-C4 at 1/5: pricing is quote-only, no public API, CLI, or MCP surface is documented, and no confirmed export path or third-party integrations are listed. The public workflow centers on uploading plan PDFs into a vendor-led permitting service.
