Most people start with the free lot report. Type an address and it opens on screen in about a minute, with a PDF to keep. We read the zoning bylaw, the provincial maps and the local rules against your one lot, then tell you in plain English what you could build, what's off the table and why, and what still needs a phone call — with the source for every rule.
Pro is for people who look at lots for a living, or anyone about to spend real money on one: your name and logo on the report, your title read in plain English, and the questions to close before you commit. A land-use feasibility study is us doing the planning legwork: the phone calls, the records no map holds, and your project checked against the rules option by option.

The lot report
FreeNo card · no account
Everything the public record can tell you about your lot, in plain English.
- An aerial photo with your lot line drawn on it (where imagery exists), and a plan of the lot in feet
- The zone, checked against the bylaw in force, and how many homes it allows
- What you could do on this lot, easiest first — and what's off the table, and why
- Setbacks, height and lot coverage, worked out for your lot
- Floodplain, streams, farmland (ALR), wildfire, permit areas, contaminated sites and wells
- The everyday rules — fences, decks, sheds, hens, parking, RVs, rentals, home business — and whether each needs a permit
- A LotSimple score, the source for every rule, and anything we couldn't confirm marked "not confirmed"
Opens on screen in about a minute, with a PDF. If your zone isn't ready for that yet, it comes by email instead, usually within one business day.
