The full report

Everything a land-use firm gives you.

Zoning is the first line. The full Brick Work report runs the parcel against every California housing law and returns what you can actually build — code-cited, parcel-specific.

  • Buildable envelope
    What fits on the lot — with a massing diagram where an SB 9 lot split or SB 684 / SB 1123 small-lot subdivision applies.
  • Maximum buildable units & area
    The ceiling across every applicable program.
  • Incentive eligibility
    CHIP, AHIP, density bonus, and the waivers you qualify for.
  • Zoning & legal restrictions
    Base zone, overlays, and what actually governs the lot.
  • Height & density limits
    How tall and how dense you can go, by right.
  • Pro-forma snapshot
    Land-value uplift and a back-of-envelope on the upside.

How to find the zoning of a property in Los Angeles

Zoning is the City's rule for what a parcel can be used for and how big a building can be. In the City of Los Angeles, every parcel carries a zone string such as R1-1, RD1.5-1 or [Q]C2-1VL. Here's how to find yours and read it.

How do I find the zoning of my property in Los Angeles?

Enter the address in the box above for an instant answer in the City of Los Angeles or Culver City. You can also use the City's own map, ZIMAS (zimas.lacity.org): search the address or APN, then open the Planning and Zoning tab. The Zoning line shows the zone string, for example R1-1. Each parcel's SB 9 eligibility checklist is on the same tab.

What if my property isn't in the City of Los Angeles?

Los Angeles County has 88 cities, and each sets its own zoning. Unincorporated areas such as Altadena use the County's zoning map (GIS-NET, from LA County Regional Planning). Cities such as Culver City, Pasadena and Santa Monica publish their own maps. Our instant check covers the City of Los Angeles and Culver City today.

What does a zone like R1-1 mean?

In the City of Los Angeles the part before the dash is the zone (R1 is one-family residential) and the part after it is the height district (1). Letters in brackets or parentheses in front, such as [Q] or (T), add conditions, and suffixes such as HPOZ add an overlay. Our Los Angeles zoning guide explains every part.

Does my zoning tell me what I can build?

Only the starting point. State laws such as SB 9, SB 684 / SB 1123, density bonus and LA's CHIP program can allow more homes than the base zone, and overlays, hillside rules or fire zones can allow less. The Brick Work report runs every one of those against the parcel.
