Data center siting

Siting is a filtering problem. Most candidate sites die on power, water, or a hazard nobody checked, and the cost of finding that out late is the whole point of screening early. ParcelOps reads the public grid, water service, transport, hazard, and parcel records for a coordinate and returns each answer with the agency that published it.

61 sources are connected for this lane today. Each one has its own page naming the office that publishes it, how often it updates, and what it cannot answer. Rebuilt from the ParcelOps source registry on September 9, 2026.

The questions this lane asks.

Every answer below comes back with the office that published it and the date it was read, so it can be checked rather than trusted.

  • What does the grid look like around this site, and who runs it?
  • Is the site inside a mapped water and sewer service area, and whose?
  • What do the flood, wildfire, and earthquake records say about it?
  • Will a tall structure here trip airspace review?
  • Is there a retired plant nearby with interconnection already in the ground?

What this lane reads.

This list is built from the source directory at build time, not typed here, so a source added to ParcelOps shows up on the lane it serves without anyone remembering to add it.

Power, water, and transport

The public infrastructure record around a coordinate, agency by agency.

The parcel underneath

Who the record says owns the ground, and how much of it there is.

  • US Public Parcels

    Points to the official parcel source for every US state, DC, and inhabited territory. The same query format works wherever ParcelOps has checked a public source.

  • Texas Statewide Parcels

    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.

  • RentCast Property & Rents

    RentCast property records, value estimates, long-term rent estimates, and sale comparables with your own RentCast API key.

  • Florida Statewide Parcels

  • North Dakota Trust Surface Lands

    North Dakota trust-land surface agricultural leases and public-access attributes.

Ground conditions and hazards

The same public hazard and environment records serve every lane. What changes is which of them decides your deal.

What is already built there

Existing buildings, federal holdings, and program geography around the site.

These sit in this lane in the ParcelOps directory and are not live, so they answer nothing today. They are named because a list that hides the unfinished half of itself is the thing this page is arguing against: USACE National Structure Inventory, FCC Broadband Availability, Census LODES Workforce Context, CDFI Fund Awards, SBA Commercial Loan Context, Spain Cadastre INSPIRE, France Cadastre, UK Land Registry INSPIRE.

County by county.

A site screen still lands in a county. The county pages say where ParcelOps has a parcel route it has checked, so you know whether the ownership half of the screen will answer.

A county earns a page only when ParcelOps has a route it has queried and checked there, with named fields and a check date. Counties without one are listed as having no route rather than being dropped from the count. Last checked July 30, 2026.

Where this stops.

The part a directory of sources will not tell you, and the part worth reading before an answer goes into a decision.

  • Grid records describe a system. They do not describe an interconnection queue position, and only a utility study answers whether a site can actually be served.
  • A service area map says who is responsible for an area. It does not say there is capacity at the property line.
  • Fiber routes and available dark fiber are commercial records. ParcelOps does not carry them.
  • The grid picture is deepest in Texas, where the state operator publishes it. Everywhere else it is national and coarser, and ParcelOps reports the coarser answer rather than dressing it up.

Questions site selection teams ask.

Can ParcelOps tell me whether power is available at a site?

No, and no public record can. It can tell you which balancing authority and which utility the area sits in, what the published generation and demand picture looks like, and where existing infrastructure runs. Availability at a specific property line is decided by an interconnection study, and treating a public data screen as a substitute for one is the mistake this page exists to prevent.

How is a water and sewer answer different from a utility answer?

In Texas the state commission publishes the certificated service areas for water and sewer, so a coordinate resolves to the entity legally responsible for serving it. That is a jurisdiction answer, not a capacity answer, and outside Texas that record is not published in the same form. ParcelOps returns the jurisdiction where it exists and says nothing where it does not.

Does the screen include airspace and height review?

Yes, as a screen. ParcelOps checks a point and a proposed height against published airport and airspace surfaces so a site that will need federal review is flagged before design money is spent. The determination itself is a federal filing with its own process, and a screen that comes back clear is not that determination.
