These work great for app & map developers who are looking at low to medium usage.
However, we understand that for many of your use-cases & requirements, a higher volume of usage & API requests are necessary.

Annual license - $12K per year, with 120,000 parcel records + 12 M tiles per year.
- includes all of our standardized parcel attributes - https://support.landgrid.com/articles/schema

Doesn't get better than this.

We have a few new updates for you this November.
Loveland is hiring an additional full stack Ruby & React developer to join our engineering team, as well as more part-time parcel prospectors to help grow our data further. See the job descriptions below and send us your resumé if interested.
We've completed work on a fascinating land and ownership assessment along the US-Mexico border. And a couple of other goodies. Read on for more.
If you’re considering a Loveland nationwide data license or renewing your license early next year, reach out now to lock in 2020 prices: parcels@landgrid.com
Now without further ado, the November updates:
1. Self-serve API & Tileserver Subs
Last month, we launched our parcel API & Tileserver as self-serve SaaS options. If you haven’t checked it out, already, we urge you to do it soon.
If you are a developer who wants to see our parcels & tiles (Vector & Rastor) flowing into your own creations, then our self-serve subs would be a great fit.
They come built-in with 1-week’s free trial. You won’t be charged until after the trial, and if you don't find the API useful, you can cancel before the trial expires and you won’t be charged for it.
2. Android Update coming soon - Landgrid Mobile App
Last month, we released a significant iOS app update that allows our users to signup for Landgrid Pro and use many of our amazing Pro features in the app.
Easy property lookup, easy picture and note taking, easy toggling of building footprints and data layers, and full integration with your Landgrid Pro accounts.
For our Android customers, the wait is almost over. This same update is on it’s way for Android. Please be on the lookout for an announcement from us this month on our social media handles for this update!
You can read more about the app & the new improvements here.
3. Placekey - Unlock location data with a universal identifier for any physical location!
Last month, we collaborated with our partners at Safegraph in creating & launching Placekey - https://www.placekey.io/
We were excited and thrilled to have been able to provide our data & addresses in the making of Placekey. We are now working on integrating and matching Placekeys with our parcel data.
If you are interested in this, please email us at parcels@landgrid.com and we will get in touch with you.
4. Parcels along the US-Mexico Border Project
Our incredible data team has been putting together a project or should we say an analysis of properties along the US-Mexico border and assessing that against our nationwide land-based classification system - LBCS.
It’s not officially done yet but we will have an interactive map & a report soon on properties along the wall & border.
Here are a few teaser images of what you can expect from this report:
5. Loveland’s Hiring!

This Halloween, the Loveland team has nothing scary or spooky for you. Just more easily accessible product updates.
This one is for the app developers out there who want to see our parcels flowing into your own creations: introducing our new Self-Serve API and Tiles.
You all know that we’ve had the API and Tileserver options for a while now. So what’s new, you ask? What’s new are the SELF-SERVE SaaS subs launching today. Signup by clicking on one of the options below:
No more delays. You can come signup, get a week’s trial before paying and be on your way to using either our parcel API or our tiles or both, without going through the sales cycle back & forth.
We understand that you need a faster time to market solution to evaluate & integrate into your app right away as well.
So, visit either our API page or Tileserver page or the API + Tiles Bundle page and you can sign-up for the Saas subs right there!
How does this work?
Simple 3-step process:
Step-1 - Select the right tier and solution for your requirements. Please be sure to review the price & read through the Loveland parcel schema, Coverage Report and Documentation to make sure you are getting the right set of attributes & solutions.
Step-2 - Sign-up for the solution and tier that makes most sense to your use case from our Parcel API, Tileserver and/or Bundle page.
Step-3 - Try for free for 1 week before paying - We know that you wouldn’t want to buy it without trying it. Which is why we have a check-box during signup to select a 1 week trial. Because this is self-serve, you will need to enter your credit card information during sign-up however, if you don’t like our API or tiles during the trial period, you can cancel it anytime in those 7 days and your card won’t be charged. If you like the product & don’t cancel, then billing automatically starts after day 7 and renews on a monthly basis. If you don’t select the trial, then billing starts immediately.
3 easy peezy steps and your development team is all set.
Hybrid Pricing:
Our easy, scalable and affordable monthly plans allow you to sign up, test for free for a week and then use our service for the way you want to. We have designed a hybrid model with a fixed base price that allows you to use the service up to the limit specified. Any usage on top of the limit is subject to our affordable overage/per record pricing. So our subscriptions scale with you & your products.
Upgrades or changes to your sub:
Say a week or a month into your account, you realize you’d like to upgrade to either the premium tier or to the bundle, then let us know by emailing at parcels@landgrid.com. Instead of creating a new or duplicate account, the Landgrid support team will make the changes for your existing account.
Help & Documentation:
Once you sign up, your API dashboard comes equipped with all the necessary documentation and the token you need to get started. These are meant to be self-serve subs to get you what you need faster. That said, if you have any questions or need help with using the API, feel free to email us at help@landgrid.com.
Enterprise scale subs:
If you are looking for flexible API subscriptions for annual contracts or subs that account for high usage without the per record pricing, we’ve got you covered there as well. Please reach out to us at parcels@landgrid.com and our sales team will get in touch with you as soon as possible and get you the subscription you need.
Well, that’s our big API update for you this month.
We have made it even easier for you to use our parcel API and/or our vector & raster tiles. Please sign up today and give us your feedback.
See you all in November.
Happy Mapping!
