Workflow

Three steps to a cited answer.

01

Pick the jurisdiction

Choose a county or a municipality. Each one has its own ordinance — a county governs its unincorporated areas, while cities and towns adopt their own codes — and the tool applies the right one.

02

Ask your question

No section numbers or legal terms needed. Ask it the way you'd ask a plan reviewer, and it finds the provisions that apply.

03

Check the source

Every answer cites the exact section, so you can confirm it before it goes on a plan, a proposal, or a purchase decision.

02

Why teams trust it

Built to be verified.

Always cited

Every answer points to the exact ordinance section, so your team can verify it. No guesswork, no invented rules.

Catches costly mistakes

A wrong setback is a redesign. A missed buffer is lost lots. Get the answer right before it reaches the field.

Honest about its limits

When a standard falls under NCDOT or the health department, or the code is silent, it tells you — instead of guessing.

03

Coverage

Live across North Carolina.

Each jurisdiction is built on its own ordinance — including joint city–county codes, like Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, split correctly. Hover a county to see its status. New ones are added every month.

Currently answering for the City of Winston-Salem and the unincorporated areas of Wake, Forsyth, and Alamancecounties. Cities and towns — like Raleigh, Cary, or Burlington — adopt their own separate codes, so a county's coverage doesn't include them.

Make the ordinance the easy part.
