🤖 Municipality Buffer Rules Simulation 🥳


Our map  gives you the ability to visualize land use and narrow down your scope for a property search. But until now, it was limited to be used for municipalities that have passed marijuana ordinances and buffer rules. With Zonegoat Simulation Mode you can now ignite your search for municipalities that haven't yet passed an ordinance.

Create a Simulation in the Browse view and enjoy it on the Map


Here are a four reasons why we think you'll love this new exciting feature:


1. When we haven't yet collected buffer rules for a municipality; you can add a few custom one yourself to simulate potential ordinance

2. With this feature you now have the ability to visualize potential land use in municipality that haven't yet passed an ordinance or are still in draft mode.

3. You'll be able to identify risky real estate lands and areas where strict buffer rules might be passed. 

4. If you get hold of buffer rules before they are available, you can simulate how they might look like.

Easily create your simulation with pre-populated lists of common options.


Here at Zonegoat we are consistently handling hundreds and sometimes thousand of local government data per day. Having such a large set of data mean that we have the ability to notice patterns and commonalities between municipalities. To make it easy for you to create buffer rules we've added a list of common boundaries that are often used in Zoning Ordinances. 

Going through government regulation can be complicated. So we wanted a seamless experience for adding buffer rules that didn't require too much thinking. We've added enough Boundary types that you will be able to find either the exact boundary you're looking for or at least a close match. If you believe that we should add additional boundaries, you can let us know at any time by either contacting Support or Reporting the missing data with our 'missing data form' (located on the bottom right of the Browse view ).


Our team has been working day and night for the release of this feature, and we are very excited to finally make it available to all users during this Pilot. We're still actively adding new improvement to this feature daily – you will notice a few tweaks within the next few days. With your feedback we can add tweaks and updates that will improve your experience with Simulation Mode.
