Before You Buy Land.

Free county source finder

Find the official county sources to check before buying rural land

Choose a state, county, and intended use. We'll show you the official parcel, zoning, septic, floodplain, road, tax, and records sources to screen before relying on a listing or seller claim.

Direct answer

Find the official source categories before you trust the listing.

The source finder helps buyers locate county parcel, tax, planning, permit, septic, floodplain, road, and records sources for supported pilot counties.

It is a public-source navigation tool. It helps you know where to ask next, but it does not decide whether a parcel can be used, built on, accessed, financed, or improved.

Buyer action

Use the links to build your county question list.

  • Check the parcel viewer and assessor record for parcel identity and map context.
  • Use planning, permit, septic, floodplain, road, and clerk sources to find the right office path.
  • Ask what the county can confirm, what needs an application, and what requires a professional review.
  • Use a Parcel Pre-Screen Report when you need the source gaps organized around one parcel.
