AA Data · Parcel entitlement

Pilot access

Know what the land can support before you lend on it.

Zoning, the as-of-right building envelope, homes allowed and constraints for any parcel we cover, by API or bulk file. Every figure comes with the by-law clause and the date of the data behind it.

Who it is for

Decision speed on secured lending, not zoning software.

Construction lenders

Screen a site’s entitlement at intake, before a consultant is engaged and before the term sheet.

Mortgage insurers

Check collateral against what zoning permits, across a whole book rather than one file at a time.

Appraisers and valuation firms

Highest-and-best-use inputs with the clause attached, ready for the report.

Data and property platforms

Add Canadian entitlement to the property record you already sell.

Delivery

Three ways to take it.

API

REST and JSON. Keys per organisation, per-call metering, a batch endpoint for a loan book.

Bulk files

One file per municipality per snapshot, GeoJSON and CSV, with a manifest of sources, licences and file hashes.

Site report

One parcel’s record as a PDF: a free quick read on any address, or a feasibility study drawn to scale.

Accuracy and provenance

Figures you can defend in a credit memo.

The engine applies written rules; it does not guess. Where it cannot read something, the parcel says so.

  • Checked against the city’s own numbers. Measured frontage is within 5% of Windsor’s surveyed figure on 96% of lots; each city’s results are checked against independent hand readings.
  • Every figure traceable. Clause, by-law page, data snapshot and rule-pack version travel with each answer.
  • History kept. Snapshots are kept, so an answer can be reproduced as of the day a loan was written.
  • Clean licence chain. Only sources whose terms allow commercial use go into delivered data.

Pilot

Ninety days, one region, measured against your own files.

API keys, a bulk file for the region, and a batch run on your recent construction-loan files, so you can compare our answers with the consultant reports you already paid for.
