Zoning & Land Use
District classification, allowed uses, overlay zones, and what can legally be built on the parcel.
Enter an address. The Codes.IQ Agent pulls your zoning rules, building code requirements, fire and life safety triggers, and structural criteria — the full code picture, before you touch a drawing.

IQ Agents
Scattered across portals — Zoning here, building code there, fire code somewhere else. No single source of truth.
Local amendments buried — The model code is just the start. What matters is how your jurisdiction amended it.
Manual cross-referencing — Architects connect the dots by hand, every project, every time.
Nothing catches until plan check — Gaps surface when it's most expensive to fix them.
Full code stack, one place — Zoning, IBC, fire, structural, and accessibility — pulled and cross-referenced automatically.
Jurisdiction-specific — Local amendments included, not just the model code.
Reads your project context — Upload drawings and Binder files. Answers get specific to your scope.
Ask before plan check — Surface issues while there's still time to fix them.
From zoning to structural — the full code stack, not just setbacks.
District classification, allowed uses, overlay zones, and what can legally be built on the parcel.
Front, rear, and side setbacks, lot coverage limits, FAR, and height maximums for the specific parcel and zone.
IBC occupancy classification, construction type, allowable height and area, and applicable code edition for the jurisdiction.
Sprinkler triggers, fire-resistance ratings, egress requirements, and IFC provisions relevant to the project scope.
Wind speed and exposure, seismic design category, soil/foundation requirements, and referenced structural standards (ASCE 7, ACI, NDS).
ADA and ICC A117.1 triggers by occupancy type — accessible routes, clearances, and dwelling unit requirements where applicable.
Where do these codes live?
On your site plan. Every rule, every requirement — tied to the same address. Open InQI and the spatial layout of your property and its full code picture are in one place, not two separate tools.
How it works
The moment you run an address, the Codes.IQ Agent assembles your full code picture — organized and ready for you to explore.
Every category is ready before you ask your first question.
Who it's for
Skip manual code research at project start. Walk into schematic design already knowing your zoning district, setbacks, height limits, and IBC triggers.
Pull structural criteria, wind and seismic categories, and applicable code editions for any US jurisdiction before you open a calculation sheet.
Know what's allowed on the parcel before you price the job — zoning, setbacks, and building code requirements from the address, not a phone call to the planning department.
Understand what you can build before hiring anyone. The same code picture your architect starts with — available the moment you enter your address.
Binders organizes your work across three levels — Project Binder, Reference Binder, and Practice Binder. Upload drawings, past reports, specs, or any project file. The Codes.IQ Agent reads what you’ve stored and uses it as context — answers become specific to your property, your project type, and how your company works. The more you give it, the more it knows.
Answers about code research, zoning, and GIS for your property. Ask the Codes.IQ Agent team.
