LightBox Zoning (PZR)

The PZR zoning report is sold by LightBox, which lists Property Zoning Reports (PZR) among its commercial real estate solutions alongside environmental due diligence, valuation and assessment, lending and debt capital markets, document intelligence, and building and development products.

LightBox describes itself as a property data and location intelligence company. Its data covers property characteristics, tax parcels, building footprints, and spatial and environmental information, delivered through platforms such as LightBox Vision (formerly LandVision), bulk downloads in CSV, SHP, and GeoJSON formats, an API, and a feature service. Sales transaction history data covers 30 or more years of records with weekly updates.

The company was founded in 2018 and reports serving over 30,000 customers across brokers, developers, investors, lenders, insurers, technologists, environmental advisors, appraisers, and government agencies. Its EDR environmental line draws on more than 2,000 databases and supports 300,000 or more environmental reviews a year, and LightBox Labs runs research with the Department of Energy, national labs, First Street Foundation, the CRE Data Alliance, and universities.

The crawled LightBox pages do not describe the PZR zoning report itself, so its contents, turnaround time, jurisdiction coverage, and per-site price all have to be confirmed directly with LightBox before ordering.

Best for

Lenders, buyers, and counsel who need a third-party zoning report on a commercial site; report scope, turnaround, and pricing are not published, so it suits buyers willing to request a quote.
