Frequently Asked Questions

What is ParcelCard?

A research tool for real estate agents, title companies, attorneys, appraisers, and investors. It pulls together publicly available property tax, GIS, zoning, and flood data for parcels across North Carolina into one clean lookup, instead of needing to visit separate county websites for each piece of information.

Is this official county data?

No — ParcelCard is an independent tool, not affiliated with any county government. It sources information from public county records and live public data feeds (like FEMA flood maps), but it isn't the county's own system, and it isn't a substitute for one. Every property page links directly to the source county's own official record for exactly this reason.

How current is the data?

It depends on the specific field and county. Some information (like flood zone status) is checked live, in real time, on every visit. Other information reflects each county's own bulk data exports, updated on that county's own schedule, not ours. Where we know a specific piece of data might be incomplete or uncertain, we say so directly on the page rather than presenting it with false confidence.

What counties are covered?

Coverage is shown live on the ParcelCard homepage and grows over time. As of this writing, it spans several North Carolina counties in and around the Triangle region.

Can I rely on this for an actual transaction?

Use it to research faster, not as your final source of truth. Always verify anything you're relying on — zoning, flood status, deed history, assessed value — directly with the relevant county or a licensed professional before it factors into an offer, a listing, or a closing. See our Terms & Conditions for the full picture.

Is my search activity tracked or saved?

No accounts, no login, no analytics or tracking scripts. See our Privacy Policy for the specifics of what little browser storage the site does use (a temporary cache that clears itself when you close the tab).

Is ParcelCard related to Estatar?

They're developed under common ownership but operate as separate, independent products. Using ParcelCard doesn't require or involve Estatar in any way.
