Data is always on our minds here at LandVision, and as our parent company, LightBox, grows and expands, so does our data offering in LandVision.

Buildings and Addresses

LandVision property data got a major upgrade with the addition of nationwide Building Footprints, building attributes like Height and Elevation, and Address Points. Building footprints provide greater context for the nature of improvements on a property and their general layout. In some areas you can also access key building information like height (min, max, avg) and ground elevation (min, max, avg).

Look for these layers in the Building Data section of the Layers Panel and linked into the Summary Card of the Parcel Panel.

Seismic and Sinkhole Hazards

USGS Earthquake Hazard Risk and Fault Lines layers help you better understand seismic risk surrounding properties and markets. Also new is a Sinkhole locations layer for the State of Florida. Not only are these layers super informative, but we personally think the Earthquake Risk layer makes quite a beautiful map, especially when viewed over the Road Base Map!

Look for these layers in the Hazards section of the Layers Panel.

USGS Topographic Base Map

We know our users love topographic maps, so we’re thrilled to introduce a new Topo Base Map option from the USGS. The multi-scale topographic reference map is comprised of the most current data in The Nation Map (TNM). In addition to contours, it also has street references, water features, and select points of interest. We think it’s best viewed by turning off the other Base Map options (e.g. Road, Aerial, Aerial w/Labels) and then layering on other data as needed. Enjoy!

Note: If you don’t see these new layers in your Layers Panel, there may have been a glitch when we automatically added them to your user. If so, simply open and save the Production Home Map View. To do this: 1) go to the Layers Panel, 2) click the More Icon from the lower right of the Panel, 3) select Open, 4) select “Production” from the Folder drop down, and 5) select Home, from the Map Views list. To make this your default Map View so you see the new layers each time you log in, save the Map View by 1) clicking the More Icon from the lower right of the Panel, 2) selecting Save and enter “Home” for the Map View name.

You asked, and we listened! We’ve had several requests for expanded reporting options around our popular FEMA Flood data set. With 8.16, we’ve added a new Property Flood Risk Report to the Reports card of the Parcel Panel*. This report expands upon the Flood information provided in the Site Profile report and offers additional map images of the property.

Note: If you don't see the new Flood Risk Report option in the Parcel Panel Reports Card, you might have a custom Parcel Card. To reset your card and get the new report, simply click the "Card Designer" command from the "More" dropdown at the bottom of the Summary Card. Wait for the card to load and click "Reset."
