MUNICIPAL BYLAW COMPLIANCE
Make bylaw checks clear, consistent, and easy to explain.
AI can help parse details from raw submissions, reducing time spent on manual first-pass review. A deterministic rule engine then compares those details with municipal requirements and shows the source behind every result.
Exploring clearer first-pass checks with municipal teams.
Start with one workflow and the local rules that shape it.
THE IDEA
Turn requirements into clear, traceable checks.
Municipal requirements are represented as explicit rules. A deterministic engine compares application details with those rules and links each result to its source.
AI can help parse information from raw submission material. It does not decide whether an application meets a requirement; the rule engine uses fixed, repeatable comparisons.
The aim is to save review time by surfacing common checks earlier, with clearer pre-submission guidance, earlier visibility into substantive zoning questions, and consistent first-pass results that are easier to audit.
Read the rule. Make the requirement and its source visible.
Check the detail. Compare submitted information against the requirement.
Explain the result. Show what matched, what needs attention, and why.

The interactive permit-check demo covers Port Moody detached accessory dwelling units. A separate Saanich case study explores houseplex extraction, Schedule G rules, and the data still needed for validation.
BEGIN WITH DISCOVERY
What would a useful first check look like for your team?
We’re interested in the workflow, local rules and data involved, and whether a bounded exploration could complement work already underway.
