On-Line Zoning Research

New Online Documents Portal - This searchable database provides citizens easy access to land use documents issued by the Department of Metropolitan Development and the Department of Code Enforcement.  Refer to the user guide for application procedures.

 

Three on-line tools are available for research for particular parcel(s). For tips in using the Zoning Browser and Data Viewer, see 'Zoning Maps' under our 'Resources' page.

Zoning Browser - This application is designed to provide users with zoning and land use standards for particular parcels. The user enters an address, parcel number, or searches for a property from a map.  Once a parcel is selected the application returns information about the property including, but not limited to, the primary and secondary zoning, rezoning, variances (if available online), whether or not the property is in a flood zone, historic preservation district, on the National Register, or in the Regional Center.  The application also gives Barrett Law information for the property if applicable.

Indianapolis General Data Viewer - This is a map centric application that allows users to view Indianapolis/Marion County data.  Users can perform many functions including an address or intersection search, printing maps, or viewing different layers of information.  Many layers are available including streets, parcels, parks, political boundaries, sanitary and storm sewers, and aerial photography.

Land Use Petition, Permit & Enforcement Case Citizen Portal - This portal (ACA - Accela Citizen Access) displays a variety of information relating to the development of property in Indianapolis-Marion County in real-time. Below lists the type of information accessed.
