CityMinutes.ai corp@cityminutes.ai

Every rezoning in DFW, the moment it's filed.

CityMinutes.ai tracks every city council and Planning & Zoning meeting across the 15 counties and ~230 municipalities of the Dallas–Fort Worth metro. The decisions that move your deals, captured within a day of publication — not weeks after they hit the trade press.

The problem

The data is public. Collecting it is not.

Texas law already requires every municipality with a website to post its agendas online (Texas Open Meetings Act §551.056, amended by HB 1522 effective September 2025). But the ~230 cities of Dallas–Fort Worth publish across four different vendor platforms — Legistar, Granicus, CivicPlus, PrimeGov — plus a long tail of custom sites, each with its own format, schedule, and quirks.

Any single firm would spend a year reinventing that plumbing, and another year maintaining it. CityMinutes.ai is the integration layer your team would never have time to build.

Coverage

From Dallas City Hall to the edge of Wise County.

Every incorporated municipality across Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Tarrant, Parker, and nine more counties — down to the smallest town where the next subdivision or industrial park is being platted. We watch only the rooms where land-use decisions actually get made: city council and Planning & Zoning commissions. Every agenda, every minute set, every packet, deduplicated across years of history.

The product

From raw PDFs to decision signals.

We are building CityMinutes.ai in four stages, in the order they become useful to the people who depend on this data.

  1. Collection. Shipping first
    Continuous, automated capture of every agenda, minutes set, and packet published by the cities. Catalogued within a day of publication, hashed, and deduplicated so nothing is missed and nothing is recorded twice.
  2. Clean text layer.
    Every source document — born-digital PDF, scan, HTML, Word — converted into faithful Markdown with provenance and structure intact. The full corpus becomes searchable.
  3. Structured extraction.
    Motions, votes, case numbers, parcel IDs, addresses, and staff recommendations pulled into a queryable database. Answer questions like "every P&Z rezoning filed in Frisco since January" in seconds.
  4. Map-first interface.
    Every active case across the metro, plotted on the block it affects, with subscriptions that alert on new filings matching the criteria your team cares about.

Built for

The people closest to the dirt.

Residential and commercial developers chasing entitlement. Home builders working six counties deep into the metro. Land-use attorneys and entitlement consultants whose week is set by the P&Z calendar. Site selectors comparing cities on zoning responsiveness. Civic reporters keeping up with more than one council at a time. If knowing what DFW city halls are about to decide is part of your work, CityMinutes.ai is being built for you.

We are onboarding a small group of design partners — developers, builders, and attorneys — to shape the first release. If your work depends on DFW municipal decisions, we would like to hear about your current workflow and where the friction is worst.
