Parcel-level answers, grounded in your jurisdiction’s own data.
Search an address or parcel ID and return clear, property-specific land-use guidance in seconds—including zoning, setbacks, allowable uses, minimum lot size, density, and the source sections behind the answer. Ask Acta is a closed AI system that uses only your jurisdiction’s configured sources.
Answers only from your GIS and approved jurisdiction sources.
A simple property question should not require five tabs and the office expert.
Planning and permitting staff repeatedly move between parcel viewers, zoning maps, ordinances, use tables, and institutional knowledge just to answer the same resident questions.
Every address can mean another round of GIS layers, code sections, and manual interpretation.
Newer employees may not know where every rule or exception lives.
Missing one setback, use restriction, or source reference creates more back-and-forth.
Open-web tools can pull from the wrong jurisdiction or generate details that are not in the source data.
From an address to a sourced land-use answer in three steps.
Ask Acta fits inside the browser, so staff can research a parcel while they are already working in a permit portal, CRM, or public-facing webpage.
Search an address or parcel ID
Enter the property identifier directly in the Acta browser extension.
Ask Acta checks local sources
The system matches the parcel and pulls from the jurisdiction’s configured GIS and source materials.
Review and share the result
Staff receive organized parcel details with source references and can copy the guidance into their workflow.
Choose a sample address and see how Ask Acta organizes the answer.
The sample data below is illustrative. One option intentionally falls outside the demo jurisdiction to show how Ask Acta responds when it cannot support an answer.
Select an address to begin
Bring the parcel details staff need into one clear result.
The exact information available depends on each jurisdiction’s source data and configuration.
Return the parcel’s mapped zoning classification and relevant source.
Surface front, side, and rear yard requirements when supported.
Organize permitted, conditional, and accessory-use categories.
Show lot area, width, or other dimensional requirements.
Return applicable residential or development-density standards.
Connect each answer to the local code section or configured source.
Give staff a faster, more defensible way to answer parcel questions.
Ask Acta reduces repetitive research without separating the answer from the jurisdiction data that supports it.
Respond faster
Reduce the time staff spend moving between GIS, code, and parcel systems.
Keep answers consistent
Give staff the same parcel-specific result from the same approved data.
Support defensibility
Show the source sections behind the guidance instead of presenting an unexplained answer.
Avoid fabricated results
Return an error or flag missing data when the configured sources cannot support an answer.
What teams ask about Ask Acta.
The system is configured around the jurisdiction’s own data, workflow needs, and available sources.
What does “closed AI system” mean?
Ask Acta does not browse the open internet for parcel answers. It works inside a controlled source boundary made up of the jurisdiction’s configured GIS, parcel data, zoning materials, and approved sources.
Can Ask Acta make up an answer when data is missing?
No. When an address is outside the jurisdiction, cannot be matched, or lacks supported source data, Ask Acta should return an error or identify the information gap rather than fabricate a result.
What information can it return?
Depending on the jurisdiction’s source data, results may include zoning, setbacks, allowable uses, minimum lot standards, density, parcel attributes, and source references.
Does it replace our GIS or zoning code?
No. Ask Acta makes the information in those approved systems easier for staff to access and interpret during everyday parcel research.
Where do staff use it?
Ask Acta runs in the Acta browser extension alongside permit portals, GIS tools, CRMs, websites, and other browser-based workflows.
