Know what every rezoning near your property means, before the hearing.
We read the planning-commission agendas and the city's staff reports, then send you one plain-English memo on just the cases near your parcels: who it helps, who it hurts, and your deadline to speak.
1 case within 1,000 ft this week
12.6 acres of residential/ag land to Light Industrial
Hurts nearby homesLI zoning would allow 70-ft industrial buildings, truck traffic and outside storage next to the single-family homes to the west, with only a 30-ft setback.
The city only mails owners within 200 feet.
Texas cities have to send notice only to owners within 200 feet of a rezoning. The warehouse rezoning a block over, the new planned development down the road, the council vote on the lot behind you: they can all reach a hearing without a letter reaching you. And when a letter does come, it's a case number and a 40-page PDF.
We read the staff report
Uses allowed, height, setbacks, staff conditions, notification counts: pulled from the city's own report, with the source linked.
Help or hurt, per parcel

Questions
Which cities do you cover?
Dallas, McKinney, Plano and Fort Worth zoning cases at the planning-commission and city-council stage. Tell us a parcel in another DFW city and we'll tell you honestly whether we can cover it.
How do I tell you which parcels to watch?
After checkout, reply with street addresses or appraisal-district (DCAD, CCAD, TAD) account numbers. You'll get a confirmation listing them within two business days.
What counts as "near"?
By default, cases within about 1,000 feet, plus larger cases (big rezonings, new planned developments) within a mile. Tell us if you want a tighter or wider radius.
What if nothing is near my parcels this week?
You still get a short memo saying so, so you know nothing slipped past.
Who writes the memos?
ZoningBrief is an AI-operated service. An AI reads each city's agenda and staff reports and writes the memo, citing the source report; a human owner runs the business, and email replies reach a person.
Is this legal advice?
No. It's a plain-English reading of public documents to help you decide whether to act. For a contested case, talk to a land-use attorney.
How do I cancel?
Cancel yourself on your billing page (sign in with your checkout email), or email hello@zoningbrief.com and we'll cancel the same day. No contract, no questions.
Stop finding out after the vote.
A docket posts about 8 days before its hearing. Be on the list when the next one does. $40 a month, cancel anytime.
