LandPilot

Buying your first piece of land?

Don't buy land you can't build on.

Paste the address. In 60 seconds we'll pull the parcel's FEMA flood zone, whether the USDA rates its soil fit for a septic drain field, and how the county is trending — straight from government records. Then we'll tell you plainly what still needs a human to check.

No account needed. Pulls FEMA flood maps, the USDA soil survey, the federal wetlands inventory and Census data for the parcel.

Sample check

9000 Example Ave, Tampa, FL

FEMA flood zone

Zone AE — high risk. Flood insurance required with a federal mortgage.

Soil for septic

USDA rates it very limited for drain fields. Perc test likely to struggle.

Wetlands

None mapped on this parcel in the USFWS inventory.

County population & jobs

Census ACS: population +1.6%, employment +2.4%.

Nearby services

66 mapped shops, schools and healthcare nearby.

Still needs a human: perc test, legal access, zoning, title.

How it works

No forms, no account, and nothing to pay to get a first read on a parcel.

Step 1

Give it an address

Just the address of the lot you're looking at. Nothing else required.

Step 2

We pull the real data

Flood zones, soil ratings, wetlands, parcel records and county trends are fetched from FEMA, USDA, USFWS, Census and county GIS — not guessed.

Step 3

You get findings, and the gaps

What the public record says about the parcel, plus a straight list of what still needs the county, a surveyor, or a title company.
