Rural Land Intelligence
Know what you're buying
before you make an offer.
Every parcel comes with a story the buyer is already telling. A cabin in the pines. A hunting camp with good road access. A few acres to pass on someday. We dig into the records to find out whether the land can hold what you're hoping for.
Buyers, agents, and investors order before the offer goes in. Any rural parcel in New York State. $15. Ready in 48 hours.
What you'll know
Five data categories. One structured document. Delivered in 48 hours.
Zoning & Access
Municipal zoning defines what a parcel is allowed to be used for and how it can be developed. We pull the classification, permitted uses, setback requirements, and road frontage. Knowing the rules before you make an offer is how you avoid surprises you can't negotiate your way out of.
Flood & Wetlands
FEMA flood zone designations affect insurance, financing, and what a lender will require. National Wetlands Inventory data shows where wetland conditions are likely. It's not a regulatory delineation, but it's a solid early read. A parcel that looks like 20 acres of open land can tell a very different story in the data.
Soil & Septic
USDA SSURGO soil survey data covers drainage class, hydric status, and septic suitability — decades of regional soil science that describes what the ground is like. A perc test gets you the site-specific answer when the time comes. SSURGO tells you the soil story before you've put any time into this parcel, and if the profile shows hydric conditions or poor drainage, that's context worth having early.
Utilities & Connectivity
For a rural parcel without utilities in place, what's available and how close it is shapes the real cost of the land. We check electric service availability, broadband type and speed at the address, and proximity to municipal water and sewer. It's not a cost estimate, but it tells you what you're starting from.
Ownership & Tax Records
Owner of record, assessed value, annual tax burden, deed history, and open tax liens. We're not a title search, and you'll want one before closing. But back taxes and public record irregularities are worth surfacing before you've invested time in a parcel.

If your question isn't here, include it in the inquiry form.
We cover any rural vacant land parcel in New York State. We use local zoning classifications and urban growth boundaries to determine what qualifies as rural. If you're not sure whether your parcel fits, send us the listing URL in your inquiry and we'll tell you right away.
Standard turnaround is 48 hours from the time we confirm your parcel. If you have a tighter timeline, note that in the form and we'll let you know what we can do.
A listing URL from Zillow, LandWatch, or Land.com is enough to get started. A parcel ID or tax lot number helps us find the exact record in municipal files, but your buyer's agent can pull that if you don't have it yet.
No. A title search is a legal document prepared by a licensed attorney or title company, and it's required for closing. A AcreLogic report is a due diligence tool. It tells you what you need to know before you make an offer, not before you close. Order both.
Yes. Agents use AcreLogic to advise buyer clients before offers are submitted. If you're ordering for multiple clients, mention that in your inquiry and we'll get you set up.
Reports are delivered as a structured PDF. If you add the Presentation, we'll walk you through the findings, either as a recorded video or a live Zoom session. Your choice. We'll confirm which you prefer during onboarding.
