What is Parcel Data?

Parcel data encompasses critical elements such as ownership details, land use, property features, and resource values. Parcel data plays an important role in financial, legal, and real estate transactions. LandApp's platform simplifies property evaluations for land realtors, property owners, and more by offering real-time parcel analyses with just a click. This integration of parcel data enables a seamless approach to managing land and investing in real estate more effectively and efficiently.


How to Use Parcel Data

Real estate agents can use parcel data to reach new clients, expand their value proposition, and research properties to conduct due diligence.


Reach New Clients

Parcel value is an all-inclusive data set including acreage, resource value, and proximity to electrical infrastructure. By getting access to these data sets, you will be able to present all this information to new, current, or previous clients. Sometimes, property owners can get the most value from their land through leasing resources as opposed to just selling the land outright. Even though each client is different, they could all benefit from parcel data in the same ways:


  1. New clients may have no idea what their land is worth, and may not know the leasing potential their land has with renewable energy.

  2. Current clients that are interested in either selling their land or leasing their land will have a better understanding of the potential value.

  3. Previous clients who you helped purchase land might be interested in making passive income through leasing resources renewable energy.


Real estate professionals can list properties for sale or for lease (solar, wind, energy storage, data centers, recreation, agriculture, and more) for free on LandApps unique marketplace with no obligation to accept any offers.


  • Post your land or CRE listings for lease or for sale on LandApp's marketplace

High intent energy developers, investors, and buyers frequent LandApp's marketplace because of its exclusive listings. By listing on LandApp, you gain exposure to a large network of traditional buyers and premium buyers like capital markets investors, CRE and infrastructure developers, and renewable energy developers.


Conduct Due Diligence

When it comes to buying or selling real estate, conducting thorough due diligence is crucial. There are a variety of man-made and environmental concerns that can become costly surprises. Today, environmental concerns are broadly acknowledged, yet they've been a pressing issue in commercial real estate for over fifty years. Hazardous and toxic chemicals from spills and disposal practices have leached into soil and groundwater, resulting in property contamination. This pollution can threaten drinking water, impair indoor air quality, and extend to adjacent properties. By conducting thorough evaluations, buyers, developers, and investors can make informed decisions, often mitigating the impact of contamination and protecting the health and safety of future occupants.


LandApp Pro is a one-stop-shop for real estate due diligence. Users can use the value index scores to uncover hidden monetization opportunities for renewable and natural resources, and they can use the risk index scores to identify any potential man-made or natural risks, making due diligence a breeze.


Strategic Site Selection

Parcel data is an invaluable resource for property developers evaluating land value. By examining details like parcel size, location, and past sales data, developers can make smarter decisions about where to build and how to plan. This data-driven approach helps pinpoint high-growth areas, allowing for strategic investments that align with market demand and future trends. Similarly, parcel data provides valuable insight into zoning regulations, helping real estate professionals stay compliant with local rules. This understanding is crucial for obtaining permits, steering clear of legal issues, and keeping projects on track and above board.
