Urban planningPlanning · inspection and advisory committee
Check a permit application section by section
A developer files an application. The inspector must check setbacks, green islands, parking spaces, snow storage, in a bylaw of several hundred pages, and the answer must hold if contested. Munia helps with search and structure; the planner decides.
Observed use
- Planning departments load their own bylaws into an agent to check an application section by section
- Two permit compliance agents are under construction with a municipality in the Laurentians
- A city had an agent built for work in wetland and water environments, tested on cases it had already handled
Status: real use, uneven quality on zoning tables, compliance tool under construction. We say it because it is true.
The same task, before and with Munia.
Today
- Reread the zoning bylaw for each application
- Check each standard by hand, without a table
- Prepare the advisory committee file the day before
- An answer that is hard to defend if contested
With Munia
- An agent loaded with your bylaws answers section by section
- A table of applicable standards, checked at a glance
- The answer cites the section, so it can be defended
- The committee file is structured from the analysis
How it is done, step by step.
Load your bylaws into an in-house agent
Zoning, subdivision, construction, site planning program. Once.
Upload the application
Plans, form, project description. Ask for a section-by-section table: standard, requirement, what the project proposes, compliant or not.
Check the sensitive cells
Setbacks, heights, parking, anything that comes from a grid: the AI still makes mistakes on zoning tables.
Prepare the committee file
The Application review agent structures the recommendation from your verification.
What you find in Munia for this task.

People stay in control, start to finish
The agent prepares, the employee approves. Nothing is adopted, published, sent or destroyed without a person who reread it. That is the rule on every page of this site and in every Munia agent.
Frequently asked questions
No. It reviews the application and prepares the reply or the file; the decision and issuance remain with the department and council. A connection to your permit software is built on request.
Not without verification. Grids in table form are a weak point acknowledged by our product team. The agent saves the search and structure; checking the figures remains with the inspector.
