Geometry
RFC 7946 GeoJSON
Drop a parcel GeoJSON, plant an address, set a distance in feet. The geometry resolves itself — every owner inside the ring, deduplicated, ready to print. For variances, CUPs, rezonings, and anything else that requires a stamp on an envelope.
Most cities and counties require that property owners within a certain distance of a proposed development be notified of upcoming public hearings. This ensures affected neighbors can participate in decisions about zoning changes, variances, conditional use permits, and other land use actions.
Typical notification distances range from 200 to 500 feet, though larger projects may require 1,000 feet or more. Requirements vary by jurisdiction—always check your local zoning ordinance.
Check your county assessor or GIS department—many offer free parcel downloads. State GIS clearinghouses and Regrid.com also provide parcel data. If you have a Shapefile, convert it using mapshaper.org.
We use the U.S. Census Bureau's geocoding service, which works for most U.S. addresses. For best results, include the full address with city, state, and ZIP code.
Yes! After the initial buffer selection, click any parcel on the map to add or remove it. This is useful for including adjacent parcels or excluding the subject property.
No problem—use the field mapping dropdowns to match your data's column names. The tool automatically detects available fields from your uploaded GeoJSON.
