GIS Software for Land Acquisition
We empower land acquisition clients with comprehensive site selection tools, accessible land data, and dynamic mapping to build efficient workflows that drive confidence. Land acquisition is one stage of a land project, and Latapult, a land intelligence platform, supports teams from evaluation through development.
The challenge
The race is on to make return-worthy investments.
Between tight deadlines and high competition, time is of the essence in site selection and land acquisition. Adding to pressures, these teams need to make quality business decisions that are not just quick, but also produce strong ROI to gain investor buy-in, and ultimately, trust.
Whether on a small or large scale, land data has historically been housed in disparate sources, requiring teams to waste weeks researching properties and managing time-consuming processes that could result in lost deals.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is land acquisition software?
Land acquisition software helps teams find land, research parcels and owners, compare candidate sites, and track deals in one place. Latapult combines parcel and ownership data with 250+ GIS datasets, Pins, and Shared Bookmarks, so research stays with the site from first look to closing.
-
How do land acquisition teams find off-market land?
Teams define their criteria (acreage, location, utilities, flood risk, distance to amenities or infrastructure), search parcels that match, then research and contact owners directly. Latapult’s smart land searches filter parcels by those criteria and show ownership and transaction history. Sites usually come out of screening done with land evaluation tools.
-
What belongs on a land acquisition due diligence checklist?
Most checklists cover ownership and title, boundaries and acreage, access, utilities, flood zones and wetlands, soils and slope, environmental history, and recent comparable sales. Latapult covers the map-based items, so teams can find issues before paying for surveys and studies. After closing, the same site and its research stay in Latapult for land development work.
-
How current is Latapult’s parcel and transaction data?
Latapult’s data comes from numerous verified sources and is updated monthly, quarterly, or yearly depending on the source. The Latapult changelog shows when data was last updated, and teams can import their own data alongside it.
-
How does Latapult support an in-house land sourcing program?
Teams that source land themselves need shared research, not files on individual laptops. In Latapult, analysts save sites as Pins with notes and documents and share them in Shared Bookmarks, so work is not repeated and leadership can see the pipeline. Homebuilders use the same workflow for residential development, and teams comparing several markets use it for site selection.
