Questions

Good to know

Where does the data come from?

From public records published by counties, states and federal agencies such as FEMA, USGS and USDA. Each parcel names its source and links to the county record.

Is my county on the map?

More than 3,000 counties are loaded and more are added every week. The records each county publishes differ. Check coverage.

Are parcel lines a legal survey?

No. Lines and acres come from county maps and are for reference. Confirm boundaries with the county or a licensed surveyor.

Does it work on my phone?
