Land intelligence. Before you buy.

Great view.
But can you build?

Look past the listing. Dirt Check brings flood, slope, soils, zoning, and access into one clear lot score—so you know what to investigate before you buy.

Initial coverage planned for select counties in Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Dirt Check hero

From listing to clarity

One lot. Five critical checks.

A–F grades. Clear risk flags. Your next questions, answered.

Our promise, from day one

Public data, not a sales pitch

Local coverage, clearly stated

Unknowns flagged—not glossed over

01 / Read the land

The surprises aren't
in the listing photos.

A beautiful parcel can hide expensive constraints. Dirt Check puts the essentials in plain language, drawing on FEMA, NRCS soils, and available county GIS records.

A starting point, not a building permit.

A lot score is an initial screen. It doesn't replace a survey, site testing, local approvals, or an engineer's review.

01

Flood exposure

FEMA floodplain mapping and the questions to ask before closing.

02

Slope & terrain

A first look at terrain that could complicate your building plans.

03

Septic / sewer

Soils and available utility information, with gaps clearly flagged.

04

Zoning & access

County land-use records and mapped access to help focus your due diligence.

02 / Make the next move

A score you can share.
A decision you can investigate.

An A–F scorecard makes the key risks easy to compare and share with your partner, agent, or builder. Spend less time juggling maps and more time asking the right questions.

03 / Go deeper when it matters

From public records to professional review.

Confirm county availability before ordering. A public-data report is not a stamped engineering study or a guarantee of buildability.
