Screen a parcelRural land screening · Idaho
Know the land before you buy it.
Enter a parcel's address or PIN. AcreEyes pulls the public records a careful buyer would spend an afternoon clicking through — well logs, slope, soils, streams, flood zones and wetlands — and emails you a plain-language PDF report, usually within minutes.
Screening from public data — not a survey, appraisal or buildability determination.
Water first
The expensive surprises on rural land are the ones you find after the earnest money: a 400-foot well, a slope you can't build a driveway on, a creek setback that eats the homesite. Water is the hardest of these to check and the one most parcel apps skip, so it is where every AcreEyes report starts.
You get the logged wells around the parcel boundary — how deep they went, where the water stood and how much they produced — so you can see what drilling nearby has actually looked like.
Five eyes on every parcel
Each report reads the parcel five ways, all from public records. Nobody visits the land, so every eye also tells you what it cannot see.
Water Eye
Every logged well near the parcel boundary from Idaho's well records: depth, where the water stood, yield in gallons per minute, and state groundwater restrictions.
Cannot see: The well that has not been drilled yet. Yield here is an estimate from the neighbours, and water quality is not checked.
Land Eye
USGS elevation data for gentle ground (how much is under 10% and 15% slope, and whether it is one usable patch) plus USDA soil ratings for septic and foundations.
Cannot see: A perc test, a soil pit or a site plan. Soil ratings are mapped averages, and only the county can approve a septic system.
Road Eye
How far the boundary is from the nearest mapped road, what kind of road it is, whether a county or highway district maintains it, Forest Service roads, and how many neighbours lie between a landlocked parcel and a maintained road.
Cannot see: Recorded easements, gates or this winter's plowing. A mapped road that no agency maintains is not a recorded right to use it.
Hazard Eye
FEMA flood zones and floodways, the national wetlands inventory and nearby streams, taken out of the acreage to give a net screening figure; plus wildfire: US Forest Service hazard on and around the parcel, past fires, and whether an Idaho fire district covers it; how many days a year wildfire smoke hangs overhead; EPA air-quality areas; and rail lines, Superfund and other EPA-listed sites within a mile.
Cannot see: Unmapped flooding, defensible space, the roof and siding, what an insurer will charge, or what the neighbours sound and smell like on a given day. Not a flood determination, a wildfire risk assessment or an environmental site assessment.
Title Eye
Public-land ownership, easements and reservations listed in PAD-US; the owner of record, vesting, legal description, zoning and tax amount; the county's last deed date where it publishes one; HOA and CC&R signals from platting and association-owned land; and legal access — what the road frontage, the plat and the legal description say about your right to reach the land; and endangered-species critical habitat and Wild & Scenic Rivers on or near it.
Cannot see: The chain of title, liens, whether property tax is owed now, unrecorded agreements, the access easement itself or what the CC&Rs actually say. Not a title opinion.
A score that shows its working
Each report ends in a 0–100 screening score with the reasons behind it. If a public lookup fails, that item is marked not checked — it is never quietly counted as a pass. The score is a way to compare parcels side by side; it has not been validated against outcomes and is not a prediction.

What it is — and isn't
AcreEyes is a fast first look built entirely from public records. It is not a survey, appraisal, septic or perc approval, flood determination, water-right opinion or legal buildability determination, and well logs describe past wells, not the one you'd drill. Use it to decide which parcels deserve the site visit, the perc test and the professionals. Read the full screening disclaimer.
