Zoning Review in 70 Seconds.
Zone Genie automates zoning and permit compliance review for municipal planning departments — cutting weeks of manual staff time to minutes per application. Every finding cited. Every judgment call flagged for a human.
How it works
Everything a planner checks, done automatically.
Zone Genie reads the application, pulls the parcel, references your zoning code, and returns a complete review in under 70 seconds. The output is structured for staff — not a raw code dump.
Built for the queue
Fits the workflow your department already has. Applicants submit through your portal. Genie runs the review. Staff review structured output — not a raw code dump.
Validated, not vibes
Every finding is traceable to a specific code section. Genie cites its source. Staff can verify in seconds — and residents get answers that hold up at appeal.
Trustworthy by design
Genie flags what it cannot determine. No hallucinated approvals. When something requires human judgment — variance requests, edge cases — it says so clearly.
The time math
What happens to the hours your staff used to spend.
A standard zoning review — pulling the parcel, reading the district code, checking setbacks, flagging use compliance — takes a skilled planner 1 to 1.5 hours per application. Zone Genie does the same work in under 70 seconds.

What planners see
A complete review. Cited. Ready in under a minute.
This is what your staff opens after Genie runs. Each finding traces to a code section. The one judgment call — a 3-foot rear setback shortfall — is surfaced with adjacent-parcel precedent.
