Rezonings and site plans move through public review with hearings scheduled in advance — but only if you know they're happening. What The Lot puts the pipeline in front of the people who need to speak up.
Pre-filtered for housing advocates & nonprofits
The short version
Track every residential project and rezoning in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, with hearing dates surfaced on the project card when the jurisdiction has published one.
What you’ll actually use
Built around your workflowRezoning tracker
The Rezoning status bucket surfaces every parcel currently under a zoning change — sorted by jurisdiction.
Hearing dates on the card
When the reviewing jurisdiction has published a hearing date, it appears on the project card so you can plan turnout.
Parcel watchlists + alerts
Save any parcel in a neighborhood you cover and get an email when a project touching it changes status. Draw-a-boundary watchlists are on the roadmap.

Common questions
Straight answersDoes What The Lot flag affordable or income-restricted projects?
+
Only where the upstream filing explicitly says so. LIHTC and other subsidy layers aren't consistently published in GIS — we surface what the record shows and link to the source for the rest.
Can I see when a project's public hearing is scheduled?
+
When the reviewing jurisdiction publishes a hearing date on the project, we show it on the card as the jurisdiction wrote it. When there's no date published, no hearing text appears — that's the honest read of the record today. A structured hearings calendar is on the roadmap.
Is What The Lot free for nonprofits?
+
Yes. All map, feed, and parcel data is free. Parcel watchlists and email alerts are also free with an account. If you need bulk exports or embeds, email hello@whatthelot.com.
Can multiple people on our team share a watchlist?
+
Shared organizational watchlists are on the roadmap. Today, each person can save the same parcels and receive parallel alerts.
How do you handle projects that get withdrawn or denied?
+
Status changes upstream flow through on our ingest schedule. A withdrawn, tabled, or denied project stays visible with the updated status so the history is preserved.
