FAQs

IQLand simplifies residential real estate development by offering zoning interpretations, property appraisals, and GIS mapping. Designed for developers, real estate professionals, and investors, IQLand helps you make informed decisions quickly, saving time and reducing project risks.

IQLand uses advanced GIS mapping to estimate parcel attributes such as lot size, dimensions, and zoning classification. For official documentation required for city submissions, licensed surveyors and architects should be consulted. This allows IQLand to focus on delivering fast, accurate planning data while ensuring legal processes are handled by appropriate professionals.

While IQLand provides accurate zoning and parcel data, these are meant for planning purposes and not for official submissions. Certified documents should be used for city submissions to ensure compliance with local regulations and avoid project delays.

IQLand provides the critical tools you need—GIS mapping, zoning interpretation, and property appraisals—so you can make confident decisions faster, whether you're working on small residential developments or larger-scale projects.

IQLand's subscription model ensures you have continuous access to the latest property data and zoning updates. IQLand is a cost-effective solution for real estate professionals who need reliable and up-to-date information.

Your subscription gives you full access to zoning interpretation tools, GIS mapping, residential parcel data, and appraisal estimates. This comprehensive package helps you avoid costly mistakes by providing essential insights into your projects right from the start.

IQLand allows you to cancel your subscription at any time, offering flexibility as your project needs evolve. This ensures you only pay for the service when it's useful for your current work, giving you control over your expenses.

Yearly subscriptions offer discounted rates, making it a more affordable option for those with ongoing projects. If you're consistently developing or managing properties, a yearly subscription ensures you have uninterrupted access to IQLand's full range of features at a lower cost.

There's no credit system to manage. Every plan gets a fixed, independent weekly allowance per report type — using one doesn't affect the other. Standard (free) gets 1 SmartBuild report and 1 Appraisal IQ report per week, plus a $0.10/week Copilot research budget. Flex gets 15 SmartBuild reports and 7 Appraisal IQ reports per week, plus a $1.68/week Copilot research budget. Everything resets weekly.

Generating a SmartBuild report uses one of your weekly SmartBuild reports (1 on Standard, 15 on Flex). SmartBuild analyzes a parcel against local zoning regulations and architectural plans to estimate construction cost, value after completion, and potential equity for the project.

Generating an Appraisal IQ report uses one of your weekly Appraisal IQ reports (1 on Standard, 7 on Flex), independent of your SmartBuild allowance. This report generates a non-certified Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) style valuation using comparable sales and local market data.

Yes. Every SmartBuild report automatically includes an Appraisal IQ valuation for the same address, at no extra usage cost. This allows you to see both the projected development economics and an estimated property value in a single analysis.

Once you've used your weekly SmartBuild or Appraisal IQ allowance, you can upgrade to the IQLand Flex subscription for a much larger allowance, or — on Flex — add usage anytime by purchasing one or more $5 blocks (each adds to your reports and Copilot budgets) for extra usage that week.

No — every plan's report allowances and Copilot research budget reset at the start of each week; unused usage does not carry over. Flex usage top-up purchases never expire and are drawn down after your included allowance is used.

Based on the zoning and parcel data we provide, IQLand can recommend third-party architect plans suited for your project. However, we strongly advise consulting directly with the plan vendor and a licensed surveyor before purchasing any plans to ensure they meet your project's needs and local regulations.

No, IQLand does not offer refunds for third-party architect plans. This includes refunds for purchased plans, any requested modifications, or delivery issues. Once purchased, all matters related to these plans should be directed to the third-party vendor.

IQLand provides construction cost estimates based on local building trends and national averages. These estimates give you a rough idea of the potential cost for your project, helping you budget early and assess project viability.

No, construction costs provided by IQLand are estimates. The actual cost of construction will vary depending on individual contractor prices, material choices, labor costs, and other factors. We recommend consulting directly with your builder to get a precise estimate for your project.

Yes, you can share property reports and zoning data with various stakeholders involved in your project. Whether it's banks, builders, real estate agents, or potential buyers, IQLand allows you to easily send reports to keep all parties informed and aligned.

2-factor authentication adds an essential layer of security to protect your sensitive property data. This ensures that only authorized individuals can access your account, safeguarding your project information.
