Township America for Farm appraisers
Convert PLSS descriptions from chain-of-title to GPS, then map comparables on satellite imagery.
Farm and ranch appraisers work from county records that describe parcels in PLSS notation. The appraisal narrative needs GPS coordinates, parcel boundaries, and a satellite-imagery snapshot of the subject and comparables. Township America converts the legal description, renders the section polygon on HD satellite imagery, and exports a PDF for the appraisal report.
How the workflow changes.
- Re-key PLSS descriptions into a separate GPS tool
- Manually outline parcel boundaries in a desktop GIS
- Take screenshots of free satellite viewers (often low-res)
- Assemble the PDF appraisal report piece by piece
- Convert PLSS to GPS instantly, with no manual lookups
- View the section polygon on HD satellite imagery (Pro tier and above)
- Export a PDF with section overlay and centroid for the appraisal file
- Track up to 5 active appraisal projects on Pro, unlimited on Business
