What is land use?
Land use describes how a property is currently used or legally allowed to be used. Common examples include single-family, duplex, multi-family, or commercial.
Why Symbium requires land use
In most jurisdictions, you must select your property’s land use when creating an application. This determines which code compliance and procedural requirements apply, including whether your project is eligible for instant permitting.
Important: You are required to provide this information accurately to the best of your knowledge when using Symbium. Incorrect information may lead to permitting delays or, in some cases, application or permit cancellation.
How to locate your property’s land use
- Check your county assessor’s property search portal.
- You can also search your jurisdiction’s GIS or zoning map portal, which may list land use or zoning details.
Symbium does not maintain official land use data and cannot verify or answer questions about your property's land use. If you cannot find this information online, contact your jurisdiction directly.
