Zoning Rule Checker for City Planners

A web tool that helps city planners read, check, and update zoning rules fast.

The problem

Cities must change old zoning rules as they grow. Checking these rules by hand is slow and hard. Mistakes can break local, state, or federal law.

The solution

Planners upload their current zoning plans. The tool checks them against updated laws. It suggests changes and shows how they affect housing and services.

Who it's for

City governments and planning offices use it. Private developers who must follow the rules also pay.

How it makes money

Monthly subscription. Bigger cities and more users pay higher tiers.

Market note

Cities keep changing zoning laws, so demand for planning tools is steady.

How to validate it

  1. 1Ask planners about their biggest zoning update problems.
  2. 2Build a small version that checks rules and flags issues.
  3. 3Test it with a few planning departments and gather feedback.
