A note on coverage. Most of Toronto runs on the harmonised Zoning By-law 569-2013 — that's where LotMore's instant analysis shines. Parts of North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough still run on former municipal by-laws that haven't been harmonised yet. For those addresses we show everything we reliably can and route the rest to a free manual review by our team — we'd rather tell you "we'll check" than guess.

The process

From address to feasibility
in three steps.

Nothing to install. No appointment to book. The fastest pre-construction check in Toronto.
01Data Ingestion

We pull live zoning, GIS overlays, heritage flags, and parcel geometry the moment you enter an address.

What our users say

Real projects. Real results.

From first-time homeowners to seasoned developers — here's what LotMore helped them avoid.
"We saved three weeks and $4,000 in architect fees just by knowing our ceiling height was borderline before we called anyone."
Adam R.
East York · Basement suite
"Checked five properties in a weekend. Instantly knew which ones had garden suite potential before we made any offers."
Priya & Dev S.
Scarborough · Investment properties
"The variance flag saved us. Our designer had missed it entirely. Worth every cent of the $99."
Marcus T.
The Junction · Rear addition

A basement suite appears feasible, but ceiling height sits near the 1.95m minimum required by the Ontario Building Code. We recommend a design review before committing to construction.
