# Zoning district + overlays at a point

`POST /api/locus_zoning`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.locus.report`
- URL: `https://api.locus.report/api/locus_zoning`
- Auth: none required

Official mapped zoning district and overlays at a point. Wired states: AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IL, IN, MA, MD, MI, MN, NC, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, WA, WI. Optional requestedUse returns reviewed NYC use-table evidence for a small fixed use set when enabled; always ask the remaining parcel-specific question. Raleigh, Wake, and Morrisville add context; elsewhere not covered. Pair locus_development_cases for change nearby. Never permitted-use approval, buildability, or value prediction.
Use this when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).
Use locus-zoning instead when your client can only call paid x402 routes; it returns the same records. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.

## Request body
