Where our information comes from
Every analysis is assembled from public property, zoning, environmental and municipal information for the Town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina — then translated into plain English.
Parcel and property records

Zoning districts and standards
Chapel Hill zoning districts and their setback, height, lot-coverage and impervious-surface standards.
Environmental overlays
Stream and resource conservation buffers, wetlands and other mapped environmental features.
Floodplain mapping
Federal and state flood hazard mapping where it intersects the parcel.
Historic districts

How we classify confidence
- Confirmed
- Comes directly from an authoritative record for this property.
- Estimated
- Derived or calculated from available data — close, but not an official measurement.
- Needs verification
- Available data suggests it, but it should be confirmed with the Town or a survey before you rely on it.
A note on this demonstration build
Property, zoning, environmental and development records in this version are realistic simulated examples for Chapel Hill, clearly marked internally as simulated. Data access is separated from the interface so live municipal sources can be connected without changing the experience.
Can This Go Here? provides preliminary property information based on available public data and should not be considered an official zoning determination, permit approval, survey, engineering opinion, or legal advice. Requirements should be confirmed with the Town of Chapel Hill and appropriate professionals before beginning a project.
