KNOW THE LAND BEFORE YOU BUY

Due diligence on 14 million+ Texas parcels.

TerraIQs joins parcel records across all 254 Texas counties — urban and rural — combining FEMA flood zones, pipelines, oil-and-gas wells, USDA soil surveys, slope, zoning and access into one report for any parcel in the state. Rural parcels also carry a 0–100 Quality Score.

Why it matters

Land doesn't come with a disclosure statement.

Sell a house in Texas and you're legally obliged to tell the buyer what's wrong with it. Sell raw land and, for the most part, you aren't. What floods, what crosses it, who else holds rights to it, whether water can reach it — all of that is yours to find out. Plenty of buyers find out after closing.

GROUND

Land you can't build on

A hundred acres is worth very little if the buildable part sits in the floodplain, the slope won't take a driveway, or the soil won't pass a septic perc test. Acreage and usable acreage are different numbers.

RIGHTS

Rights that aren't yours

Pipeline easements, transmission corridors, and severed mineral rights all mean someone else can cross, dig, or drill on land you paid for — and none of it is obvious from a listing photo.

SERVICES

Services that don't reach

No municipal water, no sewer, and miles to the nearest power line turn a cheap parcel into an expensive one. The cost of getting utilities to the property line is often the largest number in the deal.

A surveyor and an environmental consultant will tell you all of this — in a few weeks, for a few thousand dollars, after you're already under contract. TerraIQs tells you in under a minute, before you make an offer.

A worked example

The listing didn't mention the pipeline.

155 acres in the Hill Country, advertised as "unrestricted, ag-exempt, county road frontage." All true. Here's what else is on it — found by checking the parcel against twelve state and federal datasets in about forty seconds.

ZONE AE EASEMENT
FEMA flood zone Pipeline easement Plugged well County road
Parcel · Burnet County · 155.5 acres
FEMA Zone AE — 100-year floodplain
Covers 31% of the parcel, including the flattest ground and the natural building site.
Natural-gas transmission easement
Crosses the north-east corner. 50-ft right-of-way, no permanent structures.
2 plugged oil & gas wells on the parcel
Both plugged before 1994. Re-entry and remediation liability is worth a title review.
No municipal water service
Nearest water CCN boundary is 2.1 mi away — a well is the only realistic supply.
Slope over 15% on 22% of the acreage
Limits septic siting and raises access-road cost on the western third.
No contamination sites within 1 mile
Clear of brownfields, landfills and permitted industrial dischargers.
1,240 ft of county road frontage
Paved, maintained, and outside any city's extraterritorial jurisdiction.
12
datasets checked
None of this is secret — it sits in FEMA, the Railroad Commission, TCEQ, USGS, NRCS and county records. It's just spread across a dozen agencies in a dozen formats. TerraIQs joins them once and returns the answer for any parcel in Texas.

How it works

The state's data, joined once.

A buyer comparing two parcels in different counties has to pull, normalize, project, and join eight fragmented data sources by hand. TerraIQs runs that join once across all of Texas and exposes the result as one comparable number per parcel.

DATA

Built on public-record sources

FEMA flood maps, USDA soil surveys, TxDOT road data, U.S. Census growth statistics, and parcel records from all 254 county appraisal districts — joined and standardized so every parcel is judged by the same yardstick.

02 · SCORE

Composite quality score

Rural parcels are run through the TerraIQs scoring model, which weighs location, growth, infrastructure, and environmental signals, and lands on a single 0–100 scale. Same yardstick everywhere in Texas.

03 · TIER

Ranked statewide and in-county

Every parcel gets two ranks — one against all of Texas, one against its own county — so you can see how it stacks up at both scales.

See it in action

Find a parcel in under a minute.

Search by address, owner, or county, then open a parcel to get its full dossier — owner, acreage, quality score, and risk read. No GIS software, no spreadsheets.
