Time Saver: The Zoning Tool

Municipalities use zoning ordinances to define appropriate residential, commercial, and industrial land use within their communities. As communities evolve, zoning ordinances are continuously updated to accommodate necessary changes.

It can be labor-intensive to stay on top of ever-changing zoning maps. To help your community save time, energy, and money, the Zoning Tool in AssetAlly allows you to edit your zoning maps with just a few clicks.

ZONING TOOL HOW-TO

To use the Zoning Tool, first turn on your Zoning Layer, activate the Toolbar, and click on the Zoning Tab (pictured below).
