Rural Land Intelligence
Know what you're buying
before you make an offer.
Terminalia delivers a structured due diligence report on rural land parcels in upstate New York — zoning, flood risk, soils, utilities, and ownership — in 48 hours.
What the report covers
Five data categories. One structured document. Delivered in 48 hours.
Zoning & Access
Municipal zoning classification, permitted uses, setback requirements, and road frontage. Know whether the parcel can be built on, subdivided, or used commercially before you commit.
Flood & Wetlands
FEMA flood zone designation, floodplain acreage, and National Wetlands Inventory mapping. We flag parcels where significant portions are undevelopable due to federal or state restrictions.
Soil & Septic
USDA SSURGO soil survey data covering drainage class, hydric status, and septic suitability. Critical for off-grid parcels where public sewer is unavailable.
Utilities & Connectivity
Electric service availability, broadband type and speed at the address, and proximity to municipal water and sewer. Identifies parcels where infrastructure costs will be significant.
Ownership & Tax Records
Current owner of record, assessed value, annual tax burden, deed history, and any open tax liens. Surfaces ownership irregularities and back-tax situations before closing.
Add-ons
Available with any report order. Select them in the inquiry form.

If your question isn't here, include it in the inquiry form.
We currently cover rural parcels in the Capital Region and surrounding counties of upstate New York, including Albany, Rensselaer, Columbia, Greene, Delaware, Schoharie, Montgomery, and Fulton. If you're unsure whether your parcel falls within our coverage area, include the listing URL in your inquiry and we'll confirm.
Standard turnaround is 48 hours from the time we receive your inquiry and confirm the parcel. If you need it faster, note that in the inquiry form and we'll do our best.
A listing URL from Zillow, LandWatch, or Land.com is sufficient to get started. A parcel ID or tax lot number helps us locate the exact lot in municipal records, but your buyer's agent can provide 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 is required for closing. Terminalia is a due diligence tool — it tells you what you need to know before you make an offer, not before you close.
Yes. Agents use Terminalia to advise buyer clients on parcels before offers are submitted. If you're an agent interested in using Terminalia for multiple clients, mention that in your inquiry.
Reports are delivered as a structured PDF document. If you add the Presentation add-on, you also receive a narrated video walkthrough of the findings.
