Why it pays for itself

The deal-killers a report catches

01

The town that restricts duplexes

A town may allow two-family homes only in a handful of districts. The report maps those rules and explains how the municipality treats legal nonconforming uses.

02

The ADU rules that changed last year

Towns quietly adopt by-right ADU ordinances — and quietly add owner-occupancy or lot-size catches. The report pulls the current rule from the adopted code, not a stale third-party database.

03

The subdivision rules that change the math

Minimum lot area, frontage, and setback rules can reshape a subdivision strategy. The report lays out municipality-wide standards by district before you advance to parcel-specific design.

04

The overlay that adds another approval

Historic, flood, and wetland overlays sit on top of base zoning and carry their own reviews. The report lists the overlays a municipality has adopted and what each adds to the underlying district rules.

Findings in a report link back to the primary source — the adopted ordinance, the official map, the board minutes. See how reports are built →
