Lotline watches every municipal planning portal so you don't have to. When a new OPA, ZBA, site plan, or Committee of Adjustment application lands in your area — you get an email before anyone else is looking.

Every GTA municipality publishes its planning applications. But the portals are slow, inconsistent, and spread across ten different systems. Nobody checks all of them, every day — which means whoever does has an edge.
By the time a rezoning surfaces in a broker email or industry newsletter, the filing was weeks ago. The window was open — you just didn't know it.
Toronto's AIC, York Region's dashboard, Mississauga's ePlans — each with different search logic, different update schedules, different formats. Monitoring all of them is a part-time job.
You track an area intensely while active in it, then move on. Six months later, a site you dismissed has a new OPA and a motivated vendor. You're the last to know.
Minor variances reveal early intensification intent before the market prices it in. These are consistently the most undermonitored signal in the GTA — and the most actionable.
No portals to check. No spreadsheets to update. Define what you're watching — we tell you the moment something new files.
Draw polygons on a map, select wards, or set a radius around an address. Save multiple zones — track Midtown Toronto and North Vaughan separately, each with its own alert preferences.
Filter by application type — OPA, ZBA, site plan, subdivision, Committee of Adjustment. Filter by status. Daily digest or immediate alert the moment something files — your call.
Address, application type, description, submission date, assigned city planner's name and contact, and a direct link to the source document. Everything in one email. You decide in 10 seconds whether to act.
Tools like UTPro are excellent for researching projects you already know about. We solve a different problem: making sure you know about them in the first place.
If you have geographic skin in the game in the GTA, you should be watching what's being filed.
You're actively sourcing sites or tracking neighbourhoods. You need to know about rezoning signals and OPA filings before the land comes to market and the price adjusts.
You have active files across multiple clients and need to track adjacent applications, neighbourhood changes, and precedent-setting decisions near your projects.
Development activity is the clearest leading indicator for your market. Knowing what's filing — and when — shapes your advice and your prospecting before listings appear.
One early filing in the right area is worth far more than a year's subscription. Priced to make that obvious.
Built directly on municipal APIs and ArcGIS endpoints — not third-party aggregators. The same data that appears on city portals, normalized and routed to you.
Ontario Regulation 73/23 legally requires all 29 major municipalities to publish standardized planning data publicly on a quarterly basis.
Not sure what the codes mean? Here's what each type signals in plain English — and why it matters to you.
A landowner is telling the city they want to change what a site is allowed to be. Filed years before rezoning — the earliest signal a site is being assembled for development.
The project is getting specific: proposed height, density, and use. This is the core pipeline filing — by the time it's public, the developer has committed to a direction.
Massing, access, and unit count are now on paper. Often filed with a ZBA. Confirms the project is real and moving — not just a speculative application.
A minor variance — a small deviation from existing zoning rules. These reveal early intensification intent on individual properties. Consistently the most undermonitored signal.
Large-scale land assembly and lot creation. Greenfield or brownfield. The earliest signal for major new development outside the existing urban fabric.
A built or near-complete project is converting to condo tenure. Signals exit timing for the developer — useful for tracking when supply is about to hit the market.
