Look around. See what a parcel file holds.
For one person working one county seriously.
For a team, or for anyone covering several counties.
For each undeveloped parcel we run the county record, the terrain and hazard layers, the soil survey and the ownership history through a model that writes a short verdict: strong buy, consider or pass, with the reasons, the red flags and a deal type. It reads the same fields you can see, and it names them, so you can disagree with it.
Shelby County, Alabama today, with every undeveloped parcel scored. More Alabama counties are added one at a time. Scout covers the county you pick; Pro covers all of them as they arrive.
Parcel boundaries, owners of record and land appraisals come from the county assessor's GIS. Slope, flood zone, soils, wetlands, timber, wildlife and census context come from FEMA, USGS, USDA, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Forest Service and the Census Bureau. Every field carries its source in the parcel view.
We show the owner of record and the mailing address that the county publishes on the tax roll, which is public information. We do not buy phone numbers or emails, and we do not append them. Owners can ask to have a parcel removed from our lists at any time.
