CASE STUDIES

Real Partnerships. Real results. 

Zoning clarity isn't theoretical. Municipalities, counties, and regional partners have put UrbanForm to work on real parcels, real codes, and real housing and community development goals.


These are the jurisdictions modernizing how zoning is managed, shared, and interpreted, and what they've unlocked in the process.

From pilot to partnership

UrbanForm has digitized around 2,000,000 parcels across dozens of cities and counties. Each engagement starts the same way: complex code, scattered data, frustrated staff and citizens. Each one ends with a parcel-based zoning intelligence platform that anyone, planner, applicant, or resident, can use with the ease and familiarity of Google Maps.

What follows are a sampling of representative engagements, spanning rural and urban contexts, single cities and regional cooperatives.

See It In Action

Every planner and municipal staff member knows the routine: answering the same zoning questions from developers, residents, and consultants: “What can I build here?”

Too often, the answer means flipping through hundreds of pages of code, searching scattered records, or waiting on callbacks. UrbanForm replaces all that friction with claritysaving time, improving public service, and strengthening trust in local government.
