How this service works
Cited property bill and ordinance analysis for agents. Accepts address, ZIP, city, or county, then resolves governing jurisdictions for bills, agendas, ordinances, zoning, tax, fee, bond, housing, and permit-change artifacts. Never legal advice, political advice, or forecasts. Install agent skill: npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add.
Output
A structured, cited brief containing up to 12 local policy signals relevant to the specified place, including bills, ordinances, zoning changes, tax and fee adjustments, housing measures, bond items, and permit change artifacts. Each signal is sourced with citations. Results are scoped by lookback window and intent type.
Example use cases
Renter screening a new neighborhood
“I'm thinking about renting an apartment at 55 Water Street, Brooklyn, NY — can you pull a cited local policy brief for that area covering the last 18 months? I want to know about any rent stabilization changes, zoning shifts, or new fees that could affect me as a renter.”
Small business site selection research
“I'm considering opening a café at 1200 Main Street, Austin, TX — run a small business siting policy brief for that address so I can see any recent permit changes, zoning ordinances, or fee adjustments passed in the last 24 months, up to 8 signals.”
Community organizer tracking local housing bills
“Can you get me a cited policy brief for Cook County, IL as a community organizer? I need the latest housing bills, bond measures, and ordinances from the last 36 months — give me the full 12 signals so I have comprehensive coverage.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://locus.report/api/locus-local-policy-briefWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an agent needs cited, structured local government policy intelligence (ordinances, zoning, taxes, permits, housing bills) for a specific US place, scoped by intent (renter, homebuyer, small business, journalist/organizer). Prefer it over generic web search when verifiable citations and structured signal output are required, or when the use case demands jurisdiction resolution from a partial address. Use sibling endpoints for parcel-level property data or environmental context.
Side effects
- Place string not resolvable to a known jurisdiction — returns error or empty signals
- Lookback window too short to find meaningful activity in low-signal jurisdictions
- Intent enum value not provided — may return less targeted results
- Place outside the US — endpoint is US-focused
- Rate limit or payment failure via x402 — 402 response requiring payment
- Ambiguous city/county name matches multiple jurisdictions — may return broad or incorrect scope
