ZoningBot was founded in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina by Tim—A Software Engineer and Cloud Architect with 15 years of experience in the software industry, coupled with a passion for residential Real Estate Development.
What began as a side project to bolster skills in AI (Artificial Intelligence) quickly became a practical tool. We wanted a faster, clearer way to understand local zoning ordinances for Real Estate Development projects. After building the first version, it became obvious this could help a lot more people.
Today, ZoningBot translates dense ordinances into clear, actionable guidance—so homeowners, investors, builders, and planning staff can get straight answers without wading through hundreds of pages.
If zoning rules feel like a maze, we’re here to hand you the map.
