For renewable energy development

Build a site-control shortlist before landowner outreach

Find the tax parcels inside a candidate solar, wind, storage, or transmission area. Group adjoining acreage by owner, review county-published land and access fields, and prepare the first site-control worklist.

GroundUp

Move from a siting envelope to a site-control plan

Bring the boundary from your interconnection, resource, or transmission work. PropertyLayer returns the county parcels beneath it so acquisition teams can understand the ownership pattern before calling landowners.

Developers, site-acquisition teams, land agents, and analysts working on solar, wind, storage, and transmission projects.

Siting input
A candidate solar, wind, storage, or transmission boundary from the project team.
Parcel screen
Intersecting tracts, calculated acreage, same-owner adjacency, land use, zoning, access, and county-published site conditions.
Site-control handoff
Parcel IDs, owner names, mailing addresses, legal descriptions, and source links for outreach and title follow-up.

Where parcel data fits in energy development

Use the parcel layer to connect early siting analysis to the people and county records behind the land.

Greenfield prospecting

Apply a boundary from interconnection, resource, or transmission analysis to see the tax-parcel pattern underneath it.

Parcel assemblage

Compare tract acreage and same-owner adjacency to see whether a viable site spans one parcel or many.

Landowner outreach

Turn assessor ownership and mailing records into a first-contact list while retaining parcel IDs and county source links.

Regional pipeline maintenance

Use county or statewide files to rerun screens, refresh candidate inventories, and keep prospecting logic consistent across markets.

Answer the first land questions with county records

Property records support early siting and site control. Interconnection, environmental, survey, and title diligence remain separate project work.

Choose access by how the siting team works

Use live searches while project boundaries and layouts move. Keep bulk files for market-wide prospecting and recurring pipeline refreshes.

APIBest for changing layouts

Screen changing project boundaries in your tools

Use the API when candidate boundaries or layouts change, an analyst checks one parcel, or an internal siting tool needs the latest county record.
