Steps
Obtain Regrid API credentials and review the parcel schema and standardized zoning schema documentation
Query the parcel endpoint for the subject property to get its base parcel ID and geometry
Query the zoning layer for the same location to retrieve zoning type, subtype, and numeric attributes like setbacks and Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
Separately read the parcel's lbcs_* fields for standardized Land Based Classification Standard (LBCS) land-use codes describing current use
Treat zoning and LBCS land-use as distinct concepts in the data model: zoning is what's permitted, LBCS is what's actually there today
Known gotchas
Zoning coverage is broad but not universal — Regrid documents zoning for roughly 2,500+ counties, so a query in an uncovered county returns no zoning polygon even though parcel data exists
Zoning describes permitted use, while the LBCS-based land-use fields describe actual current use — conflating the two produces incorrect 'is this property compliant with its zoning' conclusions
Zoning boundary polygons and parcel boundaries are separate spatial layers that can be misaligned at their edges, so a parcel near a zoning boundary may need a centroid-based rather than boundary-based zoning lookup
