Sample report proof

This is what a Parcel Pre-Screen Report looks like.

A real report is tied to one parcel. It shows public-source signals, what we were able to match, what still needs checking, and the next questions to ask before you spend more money.

Example only

Parcel match

This sample data is for illustration only. A real report is tied to one parcel.

Field	Example	Why it matters
Parcel / APN	123-456-789	Ties the report to one parcel
County	Example County, TX	County rules and source paths vary
Approx. acreage	5.2 acres	Lot size can affect use, septic, access, and setbacks
Source tie	Tied together from county parcel viewer and listing details	Shows which records were used to identify the parcel

Likely concern overview

This is a screening read on public-source signals, not a land-use decision.

What the sample surfaced

The sample could be tied to a county parcel record.
Public maps provided initial zoning, flood, soil, and utility or broadband clues.
Several important questions could be turned into specific county or professional verification steps.

What still needs checking

Legal access
Buildability outcome
Permit outcome
Septic outcome
Utility service availability
Wetland jurisdiction
Title position
Survey boundary accuracy
Engineering feasibility

Next-step checklist

Ask planning: Is my intended use allowed on this parcel?
Ask title and survey: How is legal access documented?
Ask septic or health: What is required for septic review?
Ask providers: Can you serve this specific parcel?
Ask permitting: Are there existing permits, violations, or document gaps tied to this APN or address?

LandCheck is a public-source pre-screen. It is not legal advice, a survey, title opinion, engineering review, septic determination, wetland determination, utility confirmation, or permit decision.

Category	Public-source signal	What it may mean	What to check next
Access	Road visible near parcel, legal access not settled	A visible road is not the same as documented legal access	Ask title, surveyor, or county how access is documented
Zoning / use	Rural residential zoning appears likely from public map	Your intended use may be possible, but local rules control details	Ask the planning office if your specific use is allowed
Flood / wetlands	No obvious flood overlap in the public map; wetlands source still needs follow-up	Public screening is helpful, not an environmental determination	Confirm with the right local or federal authority if building near drainage or low areas
Soils / septic	Soil data shows conditions that may require review	Septic feasibility cannot be resolved from desktop data	Ask the county health or septic office, or a licensed septic professional
Utilities / broadband	Provider data appears mixed or incomplete	Service may exist nearby but still requires provider confirmation	Ask providers for parcel-specific availability
Permit / documents	No obvious recent permit record found in a quick public lookup	Missing public records do not prove no permits or no issues	Ask the county permitting office for records tied to the APN or address

Top 5 things to verify before offer

OSSF/septic authority and records
Floodplain and drainage review
Edwards Aquifer relevance
Recorded access and practical road/driveway path
Restrictions, jurisdiction, and water/well path

Red-flag dashboard

Each finding cites the source path and the next verification step.

Needs verification

Comal County OSSF sources, TCEQ OSSF guidance, and local permit workflow

What we found Comal County has a defined OSSF/septic process, but parcel-specific records are needed.
Why it matters Wastewater can be one of the biggest rural land constraints.
Next step Ask the county who handles OSSF review for the parcel and request any prior records.
Source County OSSF sources and TCEQ OSSF guidance
Confidence High for source path, low to medium for parcel-specific risk

Needs verification

County floodplain sources and FEMA context

What we found Floodplain review exists, but parcel-specific risk cannot be concluded from the sample.
Why it matters Flood context can affect use, cost, timing, and offer terms.
Next step Check the parcel in FEMA and ask whether any intended improvement area triggers review.
Source Comal County floodplain sources and FEMA Map Service Center
Confidence High for source path, low to medium for parcel-specific risk

Unknown from public data

Wetlands and water-feature screening layers

What we found The sample does not have parcel coordinates, so a parcel-level wetland conclusion is not available.
Why it matters Mapped or possible wetland or drainage features may reduce usable site area.
Next step Check NWI once coordinates are known and seek professional review if needed.
