MapSantaClara
MapSantaClara is an online Geographic Information System (GIS) —an interactive city map—available to the public for quick access to information about Santa Clara properties. You can locate addresses, parcels, view information layers (e.g., zoning, schools, flood zone, historic resources), generate property reports, and property maps. Layers, such as the Annual Cleanup Campaign (ACUC), can also be used by City residents to better understand current programs at the City.

By entering a street address, or Assessor's Parcel Number (APN), you can access zoning, General Plan information, property value, and other property-related information. With this information, you can reference the Zoning Code to see what uses are permitted, as well as other regulations.
