What ParcelCard is

ParcelCard is a property research tool that looks up publicly available county tax and GIS records for parcels across North Carolina. It does not require an account, a login, or any personal information to use.

What we collect

We collect as little as possible, on purpose:

• No accounts, no login. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing tied to your identity.
• No analytics or tracking scripts. This site does not run Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or any third-party tracking software.
• No cookies used for tracking. The only browser storage this site uses is a small, temporary cache (via your browser's built-in sessionStorage) that remembers a flood zone lookup result for a property you've already viewed, so reloading the page doesn't repeat the same live lookup. This cache lives only in your current browser tab and is automatically cleared when you close it — nothing is sent to us or stored on our servers because of it.
• Standard server access logs. Like effectively any website, our hosting provider keeps basic technical logs (such as IP address and timestamp) for security and operational purposes. We do not use these logs for tracking, profiling, or marketing, and we do not sell or share them.

What you search for

When you look up an address, that search is sent to our server to find matching property records — this is simply how the tool works, the same way any search box needs to know what you typed in order to return results. Searches aren't tied to your name or identity, and we don't build profiles of what any individual person has searched.

Where the property data comes from

All property information shown comes from public county tax assessor and GIS records, and in some cases live lookups against public government data sources (such as FEMA's flood maps). This is the same information publicly available directly from each county — ParcelCard organizes and presents it, but does not create or verify it independently. See our Terms & Conditions for more on data accuracy.

Third parties

To answer certain live questions (like current flood zone status), ParcelCard's server makes requests to public government data sources on your behalf. We don't share your search activity with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third party.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in any meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
