Three steps. Any property.

Every parcel already has a mailbox on Inquire Lands. You put your inquiry in it; the owner decides whether to answer.

01

Find the parcel

Search an address or browse the map. Public-record boundaries, acreage, and zoning are already there.

02

Send the inquiry

Say what you're after — a purchase, a lease, seasonal access, a business use — and what you'd propose. Attach a document if it helps.

03

Hear back directly

Owners who've claimed their property get an email the moment it lands. From there, the conversation is between the two of you.

What people use it for.

Every inquiry is one of four kinds: purchase, lease, access, or business use. What you ask for inside those is up to you. Here's what's already coming through.

Purchase

Buy land that isn't for sale

Most rural land changes hands without ever being listed. Put a real offer in front of the owner of the parcel you actually want, whether or not they've thought about selling.

Purchase

The parcel next door

Add the strip along your fence line, the back forty, or the lot that squares off your property. Neighbor-to-neighbor deals are the most common land sale in the county.

Purchase

A homestead or build site

Looking for five to forty acres with water, power nearby, and a view? Ask the owners of the ground that fits instead of waiting for it to show up on a listing site.

Lease

Farm ground

Hay, pasture, crop rotation, or an orchard. Send a lease inquiry with the acreage, term, and rate you have in mind; the owner sees it the moment it lands.

Lease

Grazing

Seasonal or year-round grazing for cattle, sheep, or horses. Spell out head count, water, and fencing in the message so the owner can answer in one reply.

Lease

Solar, wind, and storage siting

Developers reach owners of parcels near transmission and substations directly, without a mailer campaign. Owners hear what their ground might be worth to a project.

Lease

Tower, billboard, and antenna sites

Site-acquisition work is owner outreach. Find the right parcel on the map, check the frontage and elevation, and start the conversation from there.

Lease

Storage and equipment yards

Contractors, haulers, and RV or boat owners need a fenced pad, a covered spot, or an acre of gravel. Ask a landowner near your work or your home.

Business use

Wedding and event venues

Planners and couples ask whether an owner would host on the barn, the field, or the view. Owners who are open to events say so on their property and let people come to them.

Business use

Food trucks and vendor lots

That corner lot with the traffic you keep driving past has an owner. Propose a weekend spot, a seasonal setup, or a permanent pad.

Access

Hunting access

Ask before the season, not at the gate. Send a respectful access inquiry for deer, elk, turkey, or waterfowl, with the dates and the terms you'd offer.

Access

Fishing

Somebody owns that pond, that stretch of creek, or the bank you can't reach from the road. Find the parcel, ask about access, and see what they say.

Access

Camping and day use

A quiet corner for a night, a bonfire spot, or a place to park the truck and trailer. Owners choose what they allow and when. Bookable day passes are coming later.

Access

Easements and access roads

Need to cross a neighbor's land for a driveway, a utility line, or a logging road? Start the conversation with the owner before you call the surveyor.

Any

Recreation, timber, firewood, and more

Horseback and snowmobile access, a timber or firewood harvest, an apiary, a photo shoot location. If it involves someone else's land, it starts with an inquiry.

Owners set what they're open to on each property, and can close the mailbox any time. Inquire Lands connects the two of you; the terms, and anything you sign, are between you and the owner.

The map

Size a property up before you write.

Real parcels from public county records, with the overlays that matter for land — not a listings feed. Expanding across the Pacific Northwest. Detailed land data is live now in Spokane, Stevens, Pend Oreille and Lincoln counties, with more counties being added.

  • Satellite imagery and lot lines
  • Topo, contours and hillshade (USGS); soils (USDA); wetlands (USFWS); flood zones (FEMA); wildfire hazard (USFS); sections, townships and government lands by agency (BLM)
  • 3D terrain and buildings with sunrise, sunset and the shadows that ridgelines and structures throw across a parcel, any hour of any day; ten-year climate on every parcel — rain, snow, wind and where it comes from, frost dates and growing season
  • Land facts on every parcel: slope and aspect, hours of direct sun, road frontage or landlocked, bordering public land, flood and wetland, soils, wildfire hazard, hunting unit — with plain-English "good for" and "watch" calls
  • Watch an area and get one email when an owner there claims, posts for lease or sale, or when inquiry activity picks up; send one inquiry to a parcel and its neighbors at once; county lease benchmarks from the USDA on every lease form
  • Filter by price, acreage, status, and the use you have in mind
  • Draw the exact part of a parcel you're interested in

  • Free accounts see how many inquiries are waiting
  • Claimed owners read who's asking and what they proposed — and reply — for free

What Inquire Lands is, and isn't.

Inquire Lands is software that connects people who want land with the people who own it. We are not a real estate broker or agent and are not licensed under Chapter 18.85 RCW. We don't represent either party, don't negotiate, don't prepare documents for you (templates like the telecom lease are starting drafts only, not legal advice), and never hold funds.

Anything past the conversation — terms, paperwork, closing — happens directly between you and the other party, with your own attorney, title company, or broker if you want one. We never take a cut of any agreement between users, landowners never pay, and we never hold funds. Optional Pro is for inquirers. Optional Deliver by mail (coming soon) is a per-letter fee. Telecom site-acquisition fees are paid by carriers and tower companies, never by landowners.

Simple pricing.

Browse free. Owners claim, read, and reply free. Inquirers get a free first inquiry and first reply; Pro unlocks unlimited messaging.

Inquire Lands never takes a cut of any agreement between users, landowners never pay, and we never hold funds. Optional Pro is a software subscription for inquirers. Optional Deliver by mail (coming soon) is a per-letter postal fee, not a deal fee. Telecom site-acquisition fees are billed to carriers and tower companies only — see Telecom pricing.

Common questions.

Is my land listed publicly without my permission?
No. Parcels appear on the map from public county records, which are already public. Your name and contact details are never shown. Claiming your property is optional, and you can close the mailbox at any time.
What happens to an inquiry if the owner hasn't signed up?
It waits in that parcel's mailbox, and the count is visible on the map. Claiming is free, and claimed owners read and reply for free. If you know the owner, you can send them the parcel link. Deliver by mail — an optional paid letter to the owner of record with a link to read the inquiry free — is coming soon / in beta and is not available yet.
Does it cost anything to send an inquiry?
Browsing the map is free (no account required). Your first inquiry on a property and the owner's first reply are free with a free account. Continuing the conversation and sending additional inquiries are part of Pro for inquirers — $20 a month, cancel any time. Owners claim, read, and reply for free and never need Pro. We never take a cut of anything you and the owner agree to, and landowners never pay us. Telecom carriers and tower companies pay separate site-acquisition fees (see Telecom pricing). Optional Deliver by mail (coming soon) is a separate per-letter fee for notifying unclaimed owners by post.
How do you verify that someone actually owns the property?
When you claim a parcel you attest that you own it or have authority to act for the owner. During beta we check claims by hand against county assessor records and may ask for a supporting document. A Verified Owner badge appears once a claim is confirmed; until then it is marked pending. Manual review is a trust measure — it is not a title search, survey, or legal determination of ownership. Always confirm title through official records or a title company when it matters.
Will owners actually respond?
Owners who've claimed their property get an email the moment an inquiry lands, and they can read and reply for free — owners never need Pro. We're early, so response rates vary. Specific, respectful inquiries with real terms do best.
Can I negotiate directly with the owner?
Yes, and that's the only way it works here. Inquire Lands never negotiates for either side, never prepares documents for you (any template we offer is only a starting draft for your attorney), and never holds money. We never take a cut of any agreement between you and the owner, and owners never pay. For a sale, use a licensed escrow or title company; for access or leases, put it in writing and have your own attorney look at it.
Where does this work?
We're expanding across the Pacific Northwest. Detailed land data (road access, slope, soils, flood and wildfire hazard, water, wells, zoning, nearby public land and WDFW hunting access) is live now in Spokane, Stevens, Pend Oreille and Lincoln counties in Washington, with more counties being added. Elsewhere in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana you can look up parcels and send inquiries wherever public parcel records are connected, and the map layers cover the whole region.

Every parcel. Every owner.
