Research a parcel before adding it to your shortlist
Start with an address, assessor parcel number, or owner name. Pillar connects property research with the map and your acquisition pipeline, so the site you investigate can become a project with a clear next action.
Check that you have the right parcel
Compare the address, mapped boundary, parcel identifier, and recorded owner. An address search can locate a building or entrance without identifying every parcel in a proposed acquisition. For a site spanning several parcels, note which records belong in the review before combining their acreage.
Read the available record in context
Review the reported acreage, land use, sale history, and nearby map layers. Separate the record's facts from your proposed development assumptions. For example, a 12-acre parcel may meet your gross acreage criterion while still needing investigation of access or mapped environmental constraints. Coverage and available fields vary by location.
Save the decision and next question
Create a project for a candidate you want to pursue, then attach your notes and follow-up task. Record why the site made the shortlist and what would change that decision. A teammate should be able to return to the same parcel and understand the evidence behind the pursuit.
Questions to settle early
Can an address search establish the acquisition boundary?
Use it to find the location, then review the parcel records and boundaries. Geocoding, assessor mapping, and the legal description serve different purposes. Resolve discrepancies before treating a mapped outline as the acquisition boundary.
