Provided by Hesapstan, this tool calculates area estimates from parcel size and zoning ratios entered by the user.
Formula
Total floor-area allowance equals parcel area multiplied by FAR; footprint equals parcel area multiplied by coverage ratio.
Limits
Not a zoning certificate
Setbacks, plan notes, basements, shared areas, permits and municipal interpretation must be checked officially.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. FAR relates to total buildable floor area; coverage relates to ground footprint.
Does it apply municipal plan notes?
No. The user enters the applicable ratios.
Is the permit area final?
No. It is a preliminary estimate.
