Dallas, TX — July 25, 2022 — Land id™ (formerly MapRight) is thrilled to announce that the new custom polygon tool for extracting direct marketing and research lists is now available for users. This new selection feature, found in our Create CSV Report options, allows users to draw a precise area of interest and produce a mailing list with the exact land and landowner characteristics they need. 

“Along with our 50-mile radius and custom line tools, the ability to draw custom polygons gives our users yet another way to generate targeted landowner lists that contain all the information they need,” says Steve Roberson, Managing Partner at Land id™. 

When a user selects “Export Parcel Info to CSV” under the Reports tab on their Land id™ map, they will be given three ways to draw in their area of interest; they can draw a polygon, draw a line, or draw a radius. Each option has its own applications. 

• Draw polygon: Allows users to draw a custom polygon on the map. It can cover an area up to approximately 7,500 square miles, giving users the ability to draw boundaries around neighborhoods, lakes, cities, and even multiple counties. 
• Draw line: Allows users to create a very targeted list by only selecting parcels that intersect with the line they draw. This is ideal if users only want to target properties along a route such as a river or specific roadway. 
• Draw radius: allows users to create a ring around a selected point on the map. The radius can reach up to 50 miles. Any parcels within the radius will be included in the landowner list. 

Once users draw their custom polygon, line, or radius, they will be presented with filtering options. On Land id™, landowner lists can now be filtered by parcel acreage, tax assessor’s value, and sale date. You can also filter by three land use designations: single family, vacant, or agricultural. List creation only focuses on private landowners, excluding government and other public lands, and removes duplicate landowners, ensuring the exported list is always of the highest quality and accuracy. 

“Whether they’re looking for agricultural land sold in the last decade or vacant land that is at least five acres,” explains Roberson, “we’ve added more filtering capabilities to help our users produce a mailing list that includes precisely the information they’re looking for.”
