Zoning, entitlement, and location reports for developers, lenders, brokers, and site selectors — ordered online, prepared and verified by a senior land-use professional, in your inbox within two business days.
The answers a consultant takes weeks to assemble — ordered like a product, priced for a single decision.
Complex sites can take an extra day — we tell you up front, not after. Every report is researched, assembled, and reviewed by a senior land-use professional before it ships. One revision included. Prepared under the direction of Charles Finkley, MPA — 20+ years in land use, entitlements, and economic development.
A 30-second estimate of your entitlement timeline — powered by our 50-state model. The paid report replaces the estimate with your parcel’s facts.
Pick the report and tell us the parcel or address — two minutes, no phone tag. We confirm scope and send a secure card-payment link the same day.
Zoning codes, GIS layers, overlays, and public records are pulled and cross-checked — then a 20-year land-use professional verifies every finding and writes the read.
A clean PDF with maps, the approval path, the risks, and exactly what to do next — ready to forward to your lender, partner, or client.
Consultant ranges reflect typical U.S. land-use / feasibility scoping fees; your quotes will vary. Bird’s Eye replaces the fast, product-shaped decision — not a full multi-month consulting engagement, which we’re also happy to quote.
Bird’s Eye was built by people who have spent decades inside the rooms where land-use decisions actually get made — entitlements, planning commissions, incentives, and economic development. Every report carries that judgment, so a decision that used to wait on a consultant’s calendar lands on your desk in two days.
Bird’s Eye is the location-intelligence practice of NESO — sister to the free NESO analysis tools (CapStack, MarketScope, ProForma).
Yes for the vast majority of parcels. When a jurisdiction’s records require a phone call or a site is unusually complex, it can take an extra day — and we tell you before you wait, not after.
Yes — every report is yours to forward, attach to a package, or present under your own cover. Brokers and consultants use Bird’s Eye reports in seller packets and client deliverables every week; if you want your branding on the cover, just ask when you order.
Every report is researched and written under the direction of Charles Finkley, MPA — 20+ years in land use, entitlements, and economic development, 10,000+ permits processed, $100M+ in incentives secured. Nothing ships without senior review.
All 50 states. Our model and research process are nationwide; the human review is what keeps local quirks honest.
Every report is researched from primary sources — zoning codes, GIS layers, overlays, and public records — and a senior land-use professional verifies every finding and writes the recommendation. Nothing ships without that review.
No. Reports are professional planning research and analysis — a decision-grade starting point. Final determinations always rest with the jurisdiction, and legal questions belong with your attorney.
A clean PDF (typically 10–15 pages) with maps, the zoning read, the approval path, risk flags, jurisdiction contacts, and next steps. Data audits deliver corrected datasets in your format.
One revision is included with every report. If we simply can’t produce your report, you don’t pay.
Read this: Bird’s Eye reports and the free instant read are professional research and planning analysis, not legal, engineering, or survey advice, and not a guarantee of approval. Zoning and entitlement outcomes are determined solely by the applicable jurisdiction. Verify all findings with the jurisdiction and your counsel before transacting.
