Coverage
Built for any US address
You don't pick from a list of supported cities. You type an address — anywhere in the country — and Parsull resolves the parcel and the rules that govern it.
Resolving a parcel
Coverage starts with the parcel itself. Give Parsull a street address, an APN, or a latitude/longitude and it resolves to the exact property — including the county, city, and any overriding federal, tribal, or coastal authority that sets the rules there.
Crucially, it works from the parcel’s real boundary, not a dropped pin. Knowing the actual shape and extent of the lot is what lets Parsull reason about setbacks, buffers, and which hazard layers a property genuinely touches — rather than guessing from a single point. That parcel-level precision is available nationwide, across all fifty states.
Two kinds of data: national layers and local code
The information behind an answer comes from two distinct places, and it helps to know which is which.
National layers are consistent everywhere. Flood and hazard data are published as nationwide datasets, so the same screens run on a lot in Florida as on one in Washington:
- FEMA flood zones, floodways, and frequently flooded areas;
- wetlands and fish & wildlife habitat conservation areas;
- geologically hazardous areas — landslide and slope stability, seismic fault proximity, and wildfire exposure;
- soils that affect septic, grading, and environmental review.
Local code is specific to each jurisdiction. What you can actually dowith a parcel — permitted uses, setbacks, lot coverage, overlays, and conditional-use requirements — lives in the municipality’s own zoning ordinance. Parsull reads it from the controlling jurisdiction rather than from a generic national rulebook, because there isn’t one.
How code coverage grows
Municipal codes aren’t a fixed list we ship with and slowly expand. They’re added on demand: the first time anyone researches a parcel in a given jurisdiction, Parsull locates that jurisdiction’s governing code, indexes it, and can begin answering while the indexing finishes. Once indexed, the code is kept current so the next person doesn’t wait.
The practical effect is that coverage compounds with use. Every new parcel in a new town widens what the next person can ask about, without anyone waiting on a roadmap or a region rollout. If you research somewhere that hasn’t been seen before, you’re the one who brings it online.
What never changes: the citation
Wherever the parcel is, the contract is the same — every claim links back to the source it came from, whether that’s a parcel record, a federal hazard map, or a specific section of the local code. And where a jurisdiction simply doesn’t publish a layer or its code online, Parsull tells you that plainly instead of inventing an answer, and can route you to a human planner for the part that needs a person.
