Why track Rezoning & Variance Applications?

Most teams still scrape council agendas manually. InfoScout shows the signal instantly—so you act first.

Lead Generation
Looking for owners planning to rezone?
Be first to contact them. InfoScout surfaces filings from individual owners (e.g., "Farmer Joe Doe") the moment they appear.
Competitive Intel
Tracking what competitors are building?
See competitor rezonings as they're filed—know product type, scale and location without waiting for word-of-mouth.
Market Pulse
Wondering which markets are heating up?
Spot spikes fast. When a quiet area lights up with filings, InfoScout flags the trend so you can move early.
Feasibility
Is your rezoning feasible here?
Compare nearby approvals vs. denials. If 10 similar rezonings passed in one area but failed elsewhere, you'll know where to pursue and where to pivot.

★★★★★

"We do a lot of monthly and weekly reporting on different jurisdictions and the current projects being submitted. We're gauging interest, and what you guys do covers a lot of what we want. When I do it manually, it takes me about four hours."

Spenser Nelson
Real Estate Analyst, Pacific Lifestyle Homes
★★★★★

"That is massive… I didn't know you guys were gonna do that. That's really good. There's no such thing as too much information – I'd rather have more than I need, because there might be something in there that I didn't know was there at all."

Connor Johnstone
Land Acquisition Manager, Lennar
★★★★★

"I just love the idea of incorporating AI. I don't think everything has to be as hard as it really is. I think AI helps out with that a lot. I think it's a cool thing you guys are doing."

Brett Adams
Deal Origination at Real World Assets Capital Group
★★★★★

"I mean, this is gonna be a game changer for a lot of folks, the ones that get their hands on it first."

Braxton Hinchey
Land Development Project Manager at Mungo Homes
★★★★★

"I could definitely benefit from a few of the different tools... get more deals coming in and then get more accurate and quicker responses... because I can't reach out to every single one of them as quickly as [needed]."

Landon Wride
Land Acquisition Specialist at Titan Capital
★★★★★

"Home building and land and development is so lacking in the technological advancements. There's a ton of room for improvements... it's just very, very elementary still for how much money is in our industry. I've always been shocked that no one has really jumped in to make those advancements."
