Q: How do I print a map or a report?
A: On the map tab, the 
button will generate an Adobe .pdf file that you can directly print, download, mark-up, and share through email. This map will have either an Aerial Image background or a street map background depending on the layers you have turned on when you click the print button. Additional information on the subject parcel is included in tabular format with the map.
Q: Can I search multiple records at the same time?
A: There are a few ways to search for multiple records at the same time. For starters, using the semicolon ; as a seperator, multiple owner names, addresses, and parcel numbers can be searched. Example " 550 Main St; Broadway" will return both results, which in this case are specifically 550 Main St and any address along the street named Broadway. Next is the * symbol, which can be a wild-card for names. Search Smith* and you will get results of any name beginning with those letters as well as additional letters that fall after the * symbol. Some examples would be Smith, Smithers, Smitherington etc. Parcel Numbers can be searched by seperating unique numbers with the semicolon ; but the * symbol will not work for this type of search.
Q: Are there benefits to creating an account?
A: Yes, by creating an account, our server tracks user data requests and purchases. If you make purchases while logged in, you can access your previous downloads, as well as accumulate credits toward entire county datasets, and for a 90 day window, accumulate download credits from previously purchased data for savings on future record and parcel downloads. See À la carte downloading below for more details.
Q: How does the identify tool work?
A: The Identify button 
is a powerful tool that allows the user to examine the specific details of a particular feature. To identify a feature, make sure the layer is turned on in the layer list on the left side of the map. Once it is on, the identify tool button can be clicked on to select the layer you wish to identify. Click on the map over the target feature to activate. The tool defaults to the parcel layer so you may wish to change the active layer from the drop down list in the button. Some layers default in the off position, so make sure the layer is on before engaging the identify tool. Once identified, a feature may have additional information appear in the upper left layer list such as a link to an ordinance or a county specific record on a government web page. See Identify Examples below.

Q: How do I download property records or parcel data?
A: Execute a search (Address, Owner, or Parcel#). Once the search results appear at the bottom of the table, a link will appear. Example: 
Export all 63 Click on this link and you will be taken to a check out page that will let you purchase and immediately download these records in Microsoft Excel (.XLS), Google KML, and ESRI Shapefile (.SHP) formats. Entire County datasets can be purchased through this link: http://reportallusa.com/downloads.php
Q: Are there county specific datasets such as zoning, lot dimensions, flood zones and wetlands?
A: Yes, State and County specific datasets (Many are being added weekly!) are accessible by visiting the county's sub-domain address. This can be done several ways: When executing a search, simply click on the address of the desired record to bring the map to the county specific site. Also, when using the identify button on a parcel in the map, click on the address line of the parcel information that is displayed in the upper left corner of the map layer list, and this will take you to the county specific site. Finally, by simply typing in the web address http://[COUNTYNAME].[STATE-ABBREVIATION].reportallusa.com will work. Ex: http://palmbeach.fl.reportallusa.com State and County specific datasets will be listed underneath the layers list on the left side of the map window.
A: All of our parcel data can be displayed directly on a number of Map Sites by simply clicking on the map drop down button on either the search results record (on the far right of the results table) or the map page property record (on the upper left layer list). This will pop-up and provide a list of sites (Google Maps, Bing Maps, Mapquest, Zillow, Yahoo, and Google Earth) Click on any of these and a new window will open on their site. ReportallUSA data will then appear on their maps and you will be able to see the parcel data in a number of views such as Bing & Google Aerial imagery, Bing Bird's Eye view, Google Street View, and more! Our service will even import neighboring parcels and their attributes to these sites for additional referencing.
A: Yes! Many of the counties have direct links to source records for their counties. Simply click on the parcel number of a result record and you will be linked directly to that record on the county's official web-site. Also, each record has a DATA button that you can click on to navigate to specific source records. These records will not only take you to the county's web site, but to the specific property you requested!
Q: Why do some map layers not display or turn on when clicked?
A: Many of the map layers are too complex to draw at a small scale and other layers are too broad or coarse to show at close scales, so some limitations are placed on the layer. Layers like parcels, parcel labels, census blocks, census block groups, and streets only display at closer (larger) scales, whereas Layers like satellite imagery and USGS Topographical maps will display at moderate to small scales. Some layers that are important to scale are: Parcels, Parcel Labels, Zoning, Wetlands, Soils, Flood Zones, USGS Topo maps, FEMA Flood Maps, State and County Specific layers such as Lot Dimensions, Building Footprints, and Utilities.
Q: How do you buy or purchase data?
A: Simply run a search to access the results. A link to export all the records will appear and take you to a checkout screen. We use Paypal to process your order, and the data you need is available to download instantly!
Q: How does your data pricing work?
A: We have a "flexible price" format that allows users who create an account to aggregate their previous purchases towards new purchases. Example; if User "Joe" downloaded 100 parcel records for Franklin County a week ago and returns to the site for more data, he will be granted the same price format for the next records he downloads from where he left off. So this time, if he downloads 100 more parcel records, his invoice will reflect his previous purchase, and only charge $0.15 per record until the next discount threshold is reached and a further price reduction is applied. If "Joe" continues to download more data from the same county, he can "unlock" the entire county dataset and be able to access the rest of the data for free. For multiple counties and states, these totals are aggregated by county, so the same formula applies to multiple purchases from multiple counties.
À la carte downloading
Where else can a user download specific normalized records from multiple counties and states in one download? We allow for multi-county and state searches that will return the records you need from various locations in a single standardized format. Need a list of $500K+ homes that have sold in the past 6 months in your region? A complete list of a particular owner name in several counties or states? A shapefile of all the parcels on a particular section of road for construction site plans? We can handle all of these requests and more through our search page!
