Future Land Use

Future Land Use Overview

The Future Land Use layer in MapWise reflects a county’s long-term vision for growth and development, showing how land is planned to be used based on local comprehensive plans. Unlike zoning, which governs current land use, FLU offers forward-looking insight into potential land use changes. Real estate professionals use this data to anticipate development opportunities, align investments with planning goals, and avoid land use conflicts. In MapWise, you can also search parcels directly by FLU codes, helping you quickly find properties that match your strategic interests.

Use 'Future Land Use' map layers to:

  • Search for parcels by FLU code to identify land with targeted development potential
  • Evaluate long-term development suitability beyond current zoning restrictions
  • Discover residential, commercial, or mixed-use opportunities before they reach market maturity
  • Compare future land use designations across multiple parcels or regions
