The questions it answers before a site visit

Who owns it, and is it spoken for

Parcel boundaries, ownership records, and transaction history identify the right contact and whether land is already under option.

Which utility, which rules

Utility territory boundaries and service details for interconnection planning, rate context, and utility engagement.

Who else is here

Queue filings, permit applications, and land activity near your targets show competitive pressure while there is time to act on it.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the parcel data come from?

Licensed nationwide parcel data with ownership records, refreshed continuously, alongside public transmission, environmental, and regulatory sources documented per layer.

Can I bring my own GIS layers?

Yes. Draw or import layers, keep them in your workspace beside the catalog, and export as SHP, KML, or GeoJSON.

How current are the layers?

Each layer carries its publisher, license, and vintage, and fast-moving sources like hosting capacity maps are refreshed on a schedule with change history.

Is the 118-layer count padded?

No. It counts distinct documented layers, backed by roughly 155 upstream feeds, and each one is listed with publisher, license, and vintage on the Our Data page. Bundled sublayers are not double counted.

Can a site span multiple parcels?

Yes. Sites assemble from multiple parcels, and screening, acreage, and ownership run on the combined footprint rather than parcel by parcel.

Can I screen a whole region instead of one parcel?

Yes. Draw an area and run an origination study: it returns ranked candidate sites with buildable area and the fatal flaws that removed everything else.
