Property data for land brokers

Ask about a tract and you get the county parcel record, the soils and elevation under it, the mapped flood, wetland, and habitat layers that cross it, and the public infrastructure near it. Every answer names the office that published it and the date it was read. None of it is a survey, a deed, or a title search, and on rural land the county acreage and the surveyed acreage often disagree.

59 connected sources reach this work today, each with a page of its own naming the office behind it, how often it changes, and the questions it will not answer. Read from the ParcelOps source registry on September 9, 2026.

Who this is for.

Brokers and agents who list raw land, ranches, timber, and unimproved tracts, plus the buyers who ask what the ground will allow before they ask the price.

A land question comes down to a boundary and to what the ground will take. Buyers ask the second one first, and it is the one a listing sheet never answers.

What a land broker actually asks.

  • What does the county record say about this tract, and how many acres does it call it?
  • What are the soils and the slope across it, and where does the elevation fall?
  • Does a mapped wetland, flood zone, or habitat designation cross the boundary?
  • What roads, bridges, power, and pipelines run near it?
  • What have farm and ranch land values done in this county?

What answers those questions.

Nobody maintains this roster by hand. Each block claims a kind of source, the directory fills it at build time, and a source connected next month appears here on the build after that.

Parcel and ownership records

The boundary the county publishes, the acreage it carries, and the name on the tax roll.

    Official statewide Texas parcel lookup from the Texas Geographic Information Office. Fields include the address on the tax record, owner, value, land use, and tax year where published.

  • Netherlands Cadastre

    Parcel shapes for the whole Netherlands from the national land registry, Kadaster, on its official PDOK data service.

  • Regrid Premium Parcels

    Nationwide standardized Regrid parcel records for owner, land use, zoning, acreage, and assessed values, using your own Regrid API key.

  • ATTOM Property Data

    ATTOM property detail, county assessment, recorded sale history, and AVM estimates with your own ATTOM API key.

Access and what is nearby

Roads, bridges, power, pipelines, and airspace around the boundary.

Value history

What the taxing office has carried the property at, and for how long.

  • Texas County Exemption Rules

    Texas agricultural and wildlife exemption rules, appraisal district contacts, and productivity values for all 254 counties.

  • Texas Appraisal History

    Search all 252 Texas counties by address, owner, legal description, or map point, screen rural land by acreage and owner type, and read full appraisal and exemption history.

  • US Public Assessments

    Search official public assessment records across selected states and major cities, with up to three years where the publisher provides them.

Catalogued for this role, not live.

ParcelOps has these in the directory for this kind of work and has not connected them, so they answer nothing today and no link goes to them. Naming them is the point of a page like this: FCC Broadband Availability, Spain Cadastre INSPIRE, France Cadastre, UK Land Registry INSPIRE.

What this does not cover.

The paragraph a directory of sources will not write, and the one worth reading before an answer goes into a decision someone else pays for.

  • A parcel record is not a survey. The acreage is whatever the publishing office carries, and on rural tracts the legal description and the mapped shape disagree often enough to matter.
  • Mineral, water, and access rights are recorded in deeds. ParcelOps does not read recorded documents, so a severed mineral estate will not appear here.
  • Soils and wetland layers are mapped to answer "look here" rather than "build here". A field determination is a separate document with a separate signature on it.
  • Zoning and subdivision rules are set locally and are not published as one national record, so there is no reliable national answer to hand back.
  • There is no listings feed here. Nothing on these pages knows what is for sale or what it is asking.

What you still order.

A screen shortens the list of questions worth paying for. It answers none of these, and a page that implied otherwise would cost a client more than it saved.

  • A boundary survey, for anything that turns on where the line runs.
  • A title commitment, for ownership, easements, and liens.
  • A wetland delineation, wherever a mapped layer flags something.
  • A zoning and subdivision check with the county or city that writes the rules.

County by county.

Land answers are county answers, and county coverage is uneven. The county pages name every county where ParcelOps has a parcel route it has queried and checked, and say plainly which counties it does not.

Coverage here is stated county by county rather than claimed nationally. A county gets a page once there is a route ParcelOps has queried and checked, with named fields and a check date, and a county without one is named as having none. Last checked July 30, 2026.

Questions land brokers ask.

A buyer says the county acreage is wrong. Who is right?

Possibly both of them. Many offices carry two acreage numbers, one written into the legal description and one computed from the mapped shape, and on an irregular rural tract those can differ by several acres. What ParcelOps gives you is the number that office publishes, with the office named, so the conversation starts from a record rather than from two memories. The surveyor settles it.

What happens when a tract sits in a county with no route?

The ground half of the answer still works, because soils, elevation, flood, wetland, and habitat layers are national. The ownership half comes back empty, and the county page names the office that holds it so the manual step is one click rather than a search. Nothing gets filled in from a neighbouring county to make the page look complete.

Does a mapped wetland mean the tract cannot be developed?

No. The national mapping is a screening product built from imagery and soils, drawn at a scale meant to tell you where to look. Mapped areas turn out to be outside jurisdiction all the time, and unmapped ground turns out to be inside it. A delineation is what a regulator acts on.

The work this sits in.

  • Land research

    Parcel records, ground conditions, and what reaches the property line, for raw and rural land.

  • Commercial real estate analysts

    The assessor record, the program geography, the environmental file, and the entity across the table.

  • Residential agents
