FAQs

What is ReZone?: ReZone (acquired by Shovels) is the first nationwide zoning change database. We track all City Council & Planning Department decisions nationwide and turn them into structured, searchable data. Our mission is to make zoning changes more transparent and accessible to everyone.
Why Track City Council & Planning Departments?: Our Cities are not shaped by big decisions in Washington, but by thousands of little decisions made every day by City Councils and Planning Departments. These decisions give us a lens into where urban America is heading - and, just as importantly, where it's not.
What Cities can I choose?: All of them. We track all Cities and Counties nationwide. You can choose any 5, 10, or 20 cities/counties you want. If you need more than 20, just contact us and we can set you up with a custom plan.
What decisions are included?: We track all real estate-related decisions, including zoning changes, land use approvals, variances, special permits, and more.
How do I get started?: To verify that you are a City Planner, please contact us to book a meeting. We'll give you a quick tour of the product and set you up.
