If you’ve come across the term “PZR Report” while researching zoning due diligence for a commercial real estate transaction, you’re likely trying to figure out what it covers — and whether there’s a nationwide provider who can deliver something comparable on your timeline. This guide explains what a PZR Report is and how ZoningWorx’s zoning due diligence reports compare.
What Is a PZR Report?
PZR Report® (Planning and Zoning Resource Report) is a registered trademark used to describe a type of comprehensive zoning due diligence report prepared for commercial real estate transactions. Reports of this kind are typically used by lenders, attorneys, developers, and appraisers to verify a property’s zoning classification, permitted uses, and compliance with local zoning regulations.
What Does This Type of Report Typically Cover?
Comprehensive zoning due diligence reports — including PZR Reports and ZoningWorx’s own reports — generally include:
– Current zoning classification of the property
– Permitted and conditional uses under the applicable zoning code
– Building setback, height, and density requirements
– Parking requirements
– Nonconforming use or structure status and right to rebuild
– Applicable zoning code sections and a zoning map
– Conformance status with current zoning regulations
