Parcel data for land investors

What you can do with it

Find vacant tracts that are dry and buildable before you send a mailer or an offer, and leave out the ones in a flood zone or a wetland.

What each parcel record holds

Every parcel record holds its boundary, the property address, the owner of record and the mailing address where the record has them (most Maryland, New Jersey and Washington records have no owner name; most Washington records have no mailing address), the land use code and the acreage. Measured over each boundary: the share in the 100-year flood zone, the share that is wetland, the distance to the nearest stream and water body, soil type, slope, septic and building limitations, land cover, forest, and wildfire and storm history. The parcel record and the earth observation catalog list every field.
