Paste or upload the metes-and-bounds description and let Parcelsmith do the work. Parcelsmith renders the georeferenced parcel instantly. No manual entry. No CAD seats.
Metes-and-bounds descriptions encode a parcel as a chain of bearings and distances — language that hasn't materially changed since the 1800s. Reading them is slow. Plotting them by hand is slower. Catching a single transposed digit is the difference between a clean closing and a boundary dispute.
A skilled draftsman can plot a five-call parcel in twenty minutes. A twenty-call irregular tract eats half a day — and that's before checking closure.
One transposed bearing, one missed "more or less," one curve table read upside down — and the plat won't close. Find it before the underwriter does.
Title companies and attorneys don't need a $4,000 CAD seat to confirm a deed. They need a fast, defensible visual — in the browser, in seconds.
Parcelsmith is built for the people whose work touches deed text every week — and who deserve a tool that respects the craft.
Pre-field check that an old deed actually closes before you mobilize a crew. Restore degraded descriptions. Sanity-check a junior's draft.
Verify a legal description matches the property your underwriter is insuring — visually, instantly, on the closing call.
Translate a wall of bearings into a courtroom-ready exhibit. Confirm boundary disputes, easement geometry, encroachments — before discovery.
Currently in production at real-estate and title practices — and proving its worth.
We've been looking for a tool like this for years, and it's great to finally have it. It saves us about thirty minutes per drawing, and we're running fifteen to twenty of these a week — so the time saved adds up fast.
Free during beta. No CAD seat. No credit card. One paste, one button.
