What you get

The records people usually have to chase separately.

Flood, permits, wetlands, septic, zoning, and historic records are pulled into one readable check for one address — the questions people ask before they buy, list, renovate, insure, or review a property.

01 Flood and elevation

FEMA flood-zone label, Special Flood Hazard Area status, and Base Flood Elevation when the source supports it — plus elevation context from the USGS point service.

Agency · record · date checked — on every answer
02 Permits and town records

Permit and local-record matches where public records are available.

03 Wetlands and conservation

Mapped wetlands, buffer records, and coastal resource areas where available.

04 Septic and wastewater

Sewer, septic, and nitrogen-area records when public sources support them.

05 Zoning and historic

Zoning references and historic records where the town publishes usable records.

Why this exists

Records are scattered all over. The answers should not be.

FEMA maps, state map layers, environmental records, town rules, wetlands records, historic records, and wastewater notes can all matter. Lasting Ground does not replace professional review — it organizes the public-record starting point so one property is easier to understand, and easier to hand to the people helping you decide.

How it works

Three steps. One readable check.

Step 01

Type the address.

Type or choose a complete property address. We confirm the address and show a free snapshot before you decide whether to purchase the full Property Check.

Step 02

See the free snapshot.

The snapshot confirms the match, counts the answers that are ready, and shows the first real answers with their sources — before any payment.

Step 03

Get the sourced Property Check.

The full Property Check gives you plain-English answers with the supporting source beside each one. Yours to keep, print, or send to the people helping you review the property.
