How it works
From address to answer in three steps
The homework a land buyer pays a consultant hundreds for — compressed into minutes.
Enter the address
Any US street address. We locate the parcel boundary and pull zoning, flood, terrain, soils and wetlands data from federal and county sources.
We run the public record
Zoning district and setbacks, FEMA flood zones, USGS terrain, USDA soils and USFWS wetlands — intersected precisely with your parcel, not the neighborhood.

FAQ
Fair questions
Which areas do you cover?
We cover the entire United States. Every report includes FEMA flood zones, USGS terrain, USDA soils and USFWS wetlands data. In enhanced-coverage counties (Fairfax County, Virginia), we also pull precise parcel boundaries and real zoning data from county GIS. More enhanced counties are added based on demand — Land Pro subscribers vote on which come next.
Is this a survey or a feasibility study?
No. It is a preliminary informational assessment built from official public map data — not a survey, not engineering, and not legal advice. It tells you what the public record says about a lot so you can decide what professional work to order next, and it lists exactly what to verify.
Where does the data come from?
County GIS (parcel boundaries and zoning districts), FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer, the USGS 3D Elevation Program, the USDA soil survey, the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory and the US Census. Every report lists its sources and retrieval date.
How fast do I get my report?
Reports generate from live data and are typically delivered to your email within a few minutes.
