Before the offer goes hard.

Can this parcel support the intended conservation or park use without a deal-breaking restriction?

Illustrative tract · total land and usable land

Compare the tax parcel with the land described in the deed.

Evidence needed: Deed, survey, recorded map and road records.

A tax parcel outline is not a boundary survey. Acreage and ownership remain unverified.

Identify the connected habitat, stream corridor or park land the purchase is meant to protect.

Evidence needed: Resource inventory, field observations and the buyer’s conservation objectives.

The illustration does not establish resource condition or suitability for public use.

Separate retained homes, out-parcels and utility corridors from the intended purchase.

Evidence needed: Purchase terms, title exceptions, easements and a surveyed description of exclusions.

Access rights and the land included in the offer need confirmation before a purchase decision.
