Global Zoning

What Global Zoning does

Global Zoning LLC is a privately-held, micro-scale compliance research firm headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, founded in 2015 and operated by co-owners Cassie Phelps and Shelly Labus. The company produces zoning compliance reports — including Zoning Reports, Zoning Analysis, Zoning Letters, Zoning Verification Letters, Rebuild Letters, Certificates of Occupancy, and zoning/code violation checks — for use in real estate transactions, development permitting, lender due diligence, and legal closings. Core customer segments span real estate professionals (buyers, sellers, agents), mortgage lenders and banks, property developers and builders, and real estate attorneys and title companies; all segments are described as primary, indicating a horizontal rather than vertical go-to-market posture.

The underlying service is manual, research-driven document compilation rather than a software platform: no proprietary technology, mobile app, API, or integration partners are disclosed, and the Squarespace-hosted website functions as the primary sales channel via 'Order Now' and 'Request A Quote' CTAs, supplemented by a downloadable sample report PDF and blog content. The revenue model is one-time transactional purchase of individual reports on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis; no subscription tiers, recurring contracts, or publicly disclosed pricing exist. The firm employs 1-10 people, has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries, and shows no social media, partnerships, awards, patents, or expansion activity in the available record.

Broad incumbents

• PropertyShark: PropertyShark provides deep property data including zoning, ownership, and transaction history for U.S. real estate. Overlaps with Global Zoning's zoning analysis use cases but as part of a much broader property intelligence platform serving investors and professionals.
• Zillow: Zillow exposes parcel-level property information including zoning overlays on its consumer and Pro platforms. As a broad incumbent, it addresses the surface-level zoning questions Global Zoning handles, often at lower or zero marginal cost to the end user.
• HouseCanary: HouseCanary offers residential real estate analytics and property valuation at scale. While not zoning-specific, it overlaps with Global Zoning's institutional buyer base (lenders, investors) that increasingly consume property data programmatically.
• ATTOM Data: ATTOM Data is a large property data aggregator offering zoning, parcel, and permit datasets through bulk and API products. Competes with Global Zoning at the data layer for any buyer needing machine-readable zoning intelligence at scale.
• Reonomy: Reonomy (now part of Altus Group) provides commercial property intelligence including ownership, zoning, and asset data. Comparable to Global Zoning in serving investors and brokers needing zoning context, but delivered as a SaaS data platform rather than individual reports.
• CoreLogic: CoreLogic is a major property data and analytics provider serving mortgage, real estate, and government clients. Provides zoning and parcel-level data within a broad portfolio, making it an incumbent alternative for institutional buyers that Global Zoning also targets.

Emerging players

• BuildZoom: BuildZoom aggregates building permit data across U.S. jurisdictions and exposes it through reports and APIs. Comparable to Global Zoning in pulling permitting and code-related records for property research, though delivered via a data platform rather than manual reports.

Others

• Encompass (ICE Mortgage Technology): Encompass is the dominant mortgage origination software platform used by lenders that Global Zoning serves. Relevant as a distribution channel and ecosystem participant where zoning letters are routinely ordered during loan processing, even though it does not directly compete in zoning research.

Direct peers

• PropLogix: PropLogix offers real estate due diligence services including zoning, permit, and code research ordered by title companies, lenders, and agents. Closely mirrors Global Zoning's workflow of pulling jurisdictional records into a compliance deliverable for transactions.
• ZoningSearch: ZoningSearch provides zoning compliance reports and zoning letters for real estate transactions nationwide. Directly comparable to Global Zoning in product scope, customer base (lenders, attorneys, brokers), and one-time report delivery model.
