Where LandSquatch gets its data: public records, government databases, and proprietary analysis.
According to LandSquatch data covering 198,170+ properties across Georgia and Florida, understanding landsquatch data sources is essential for making informed land investment decisions.
LandSquatch aggregates data from multiple public sources: county tax assessor databases (ownership, sales, assessments), USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (soil surveys), FEMA (flood zone maps), USGS (topographic and elevation data), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (National Wetlands Inventory), county planning and zoning departments, and state environmental agencies. All source data is publicly available; our value is in aggregating, analyzing, and scoring it.
Update frequency varies by data source. County tax records are updated quarterly to annually (when counties publish new data). FEMA flood maps are updated when new studies are completed. Soil and topographic data are relatively stable and updated infrequently. Market and sales data are updated as new recordings become available. County Sentinel indicators are refreshed regularly to capture current market conditions.
Our data is as accurate as the underlying public sources, which are maintained by government agencies with professional standards. However, no data source is perfect — county records can have errors, boundaries may not be precision-surveyed, and conditions can change. LandSquatch data should be used as a screening and analysis tool, with professional verification (survey, soil test, title search) before making purchase decisions.
