DirtFlight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of land in Connecticut, enter the town and the APN, or draw the boundary on the map or upload a file. The pack renders in about ten minutes: an outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, an 18 second orbit video, a hosted listing page and a parcel info sheet, with full resolution files of every view. Nobody flies out, so there is no travel charge, and it works anywhere in Connecticut. Dirt is $29 a parcel and Paydirt $79, or $199 a month for PayDirt Pro (20 Paydirt packs a month). Paydirt adds a contour map that shows the ledge and the wet ground, the road frontage hero, the infrared land health view, the full social kit with platform captions, a posting plan and silent reels, pop-out photos from nine directions, the interactive 3D explorer and the measured diligence layers.

The parcels are small and the woods are thick.
Connecticut land moves in ten and twenty acre pieces, usually wooded, often sitting behind older subdivisions, frequently split by wetland or ledge. From the road a buyer sees trees. What they need is where the wet ground sits, where the ledge outcrops and whether there is a way in.
Contours show the ledge and the drop to the brook, and the outlined top down shows how the lot sits against the neighbors, which is most of the conversation on small New England parcels.
Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
One parcel. Everything below.
One parcel, everything below. Mixed hardwood, a brook along the back line, and a stone wall marking the old field edge.

Where Connecticut land actually trades.
Connecticut parcels are entered by town. These are the counties land buyers ask about most, with a town in each.
Any Connecticut town works: type the parcel number, draw the boundary on the map, or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile. Enter the town and the map, block and lot as it appears on the town tax record. Try your APN free, and if a parcel will not come up from its number you hear that before anything is charged.
What to know before you order a Connecticut parcel.
- Coverage
- Any Connecticut town works: type the APN, draw the boundary on the map or upload a file. See coverage.
- Common land
- Wooded residential lots, small farms and old fields, ledge and hillside, wetlands, and woodlots with water frontage.
- Typical uses
- Homesites and building lots, small farms, woodlots, and land held for later division.
- Reads well from above
- Wetland and ledge on wooded ground, stone walls and old field lines, and whether a back lot reaches the road by a strip of frontage or a right of way.
- Your parcel number
- Connecticut towns rather than counties do the assessing, so give the town, and the number to look for is the map, block and lot or the account number on the town record.
- Boundary and imagery
- The boundary is approximate and is not a survey. Imagery is the most recent aerial available for that town, usually one to three years old.
Rules for splitting a Connecticut tract differ by town, so start with the town planning office. How to subdivide land walks through the steps, subdivide land photos renders a pack for every lot from a plat or a drawn split, and land home packages screens where a home can go on a lot.

Asked by people selling Connecticut ground.
Which Connecticut towns can you do?
Any Connecticut town works. Send the town and the APN, which in Connecticut is the map, block and lot, and DirtFlight renders the pack. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you hear that before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile instead. The pack comes back the same.
Which Connecticut lots are worth a pack?
Wooded residential lots, small farms and old fields, ledge and hillside, wetlands, and woodlots with water frontage. Typical uses there: homesites and building lots, small farms, woodlots, and land held for later division.
Can you show wetland and ledge on a wooded lot?
Wet ground, brook lines and open ledge read from above, and the contour map shows the pitch and the low spots. Canopy hides some detail, which is exactly why contours are in the base pack rather than an upgrade.
Will it show whether a back lot has frontage?
The boundary is drawn against the road and the adjoining parcels, so where frontage exists it is visible, and where the lot sits behind others that is visible too. Legal access is a title question rather than an imagery one.
Do I enter the town or the county for a Connecticut parcel, and which number?
Connecticut towns rather than counties do the assessing, so give the town, and the number to look for is the map, block and lot or the account number on the town record. Enter the town and the map, block and lot as it appears on the town tax record, or a street address, and DirtFlight draws the boundary. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you are told before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a boundary file instead.
What shows on a wooded Connecticut lot from above?
Wetland and ledge on wooded ground, stone walls and old field lines, and whether a back lot reaches the road by a strip of frontage or a right of way. The boundary is drawn on every view, and the imagery is the most recent aerial available for that town, usually one to three years old, with the date on the pack.
