How Civic Worth works
Search any address, free
Type any Columbus or Chicago address. In under a second you get the Civic Address Card: who represents that parcel, how it is zoned, the nearest transit, and the most recent 311 requests nearby. No account, no charge.
The report explains the why
The card shows what is true of a parcel. The full report shows why it matters. It reads the same public record a planner or a land-use lawyer would pull, and cites every source: today's zoning and the Zone In draft, permit history and the unpermitted-work signal, assessed value and tax context, and demographic and displacement trends.

About 66,000 Columbus parcels get a new zoning district in the Phase 2 draft.
Phase 1 of the Zone In rezoning passed in July 2024. The Phase 2 Public Review Draft is open for public comment through Oct 24, 2026. Search your address to see the current district beside the proposed one — every permitted use, height limit, and parking rule that would change.
