Property research

Research a property before you buy, build, or invest

Property research often means opening several maps and agency websites. Groundcheck brings available public records and mapped site conditions into one clear first-pass report.

Official public data sources. Clear risk levels. Practical next questions.

Generate a Groundcheck Report

Enter a property address to start your screening report.

Your first Groundcheck Report is free. Each additional report is $29.

What you get

Turn scattered property data into a useful first pass

Start with facts you can trace to their sources. Groundcheck organizes the available evidence, highlights potential concerns, and shows what still needs local or professional confirmation.

Bring sources together

Review parcel, environmental, physical, and available local context without assembling the first pass by hand.

Spot questions early

Find mapped conditions that may deserve a call to the seller, planning office, engineer, or environmental professional.

Keep the limits visible

See source links, unavailable checks, and plain-language caveats alongside the findings.

Common questions

Before you rely on a property screen

How do I research a property before buying it?

Start with parcel records, title and access, zoning, floodplain, wetlands, soils, utilities, environmental concerns, and local development rules. Groundcheck organizes many early screening sources, while agencies and qualified professionals handle formal verification.

What property information does Groundcheck include?

Coverage varies by location. A report may include parcel details, available zoning and jurisdiction data, floodplain, wetlands, soils, slope, surface water, roads, environmental sites, historic resources, and state or local layers.

Is Groundcheck a title search or property inspection?

No. Groundcheck is a public-data screening report. It does not replace title work, a survey, an inspection, legal advice, engineering, environmental assessment, or confirmation from local agencies.

Start with the property you are considering

Generate a source-backed screening report before you spend serious time or money on the site.

Research a property

Groundcheck is an early-stage screening tool. It does not provide a legal, engineering, surveying, environmental, planning, permitting, or buildability determination. Verify important findings with qualified professionals and the appropriate agencies.
