DirtFlight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of land in Florida, enter the county 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 Florida. 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 two feet of relief that matter, 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.

Wet or dry is the entire question.
Florida land is sold on whether it floods. Interior parcels in Highlands, Hendry and Baker, cutover pine, palmetto and pasture, plus platted lots on canal systems that never got built. Standing water in August and dry sand in April look nothing alike.
Aerial imagery shows the wet signature, the cypress dome and the ditch network, and the contour map shows the two feet of relief that decide where a pad can go.
Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
One parcel. Everything below.

Where Florida land actually trades.
These are the counties land buyers ask about most.
Any Florida county works: type the parcel number, draw the boundary on the map, or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile. 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 Florida parcel.
- Coverage
- Any Florida county works: type the APN, draw the boundary on the map or upload a file. See coverage.
- Common land
- Pine flatwoods and timberland, cattle pasture, citrus and row crop ground, wetlands and swamp, and wooded rural homesites.
- Typical uses
- Rural homesites, hunting and recreation, cattle and timber, and platted lots on canals and in older subdivisions.
- Reads well from above
- Wet ground and open water, drainage ditches and canals, flood zones, and the line where pasture meets wooded land. Flat, low ground makes wetland and flood acres the first thing a buyer asks about.
- Your parcel number
- The number to look for is the parcel ID on the property appraiser's record.
- Boundary and imagery
- The boundary is approximate and is not a survey. Imagery is the most recent aerial available for that county, usually one to three years old.

Asked by people selling Florida ground.
Which Florida counties can you do?
Any Florida county works. Send the county and the APN 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 kinds of Florida land get a DirtFlight pack?
Pine flatwoods and timberland, cattle pasture, citrus and row crop ground, wetlands and swamp, and wooded rural homesites. Typical uses there: rural homesites, hunting and recreation, cattle and timber, and platted lots on canals and in older subdivisions.
Can a buyer see whether the parcel is wet?
The imagery shows the signs: cypress heads, dark wet ground, ditch lines and the vegetation that only grows where water stands. With two foot contours that is usually enough to know where a pad would go. Wetland jurisdiction is a survey and permitting question, not an imagery one.
Does it work on platted canal lots and small interior lots?
Yes, and it matters more there. Where a thousand identical quarter acre lots sit on paper roads, the outlined boundary and the context map are the only way a buyer sees which lot is which and what is actually built around it.
What is a Florida parcel ID, and where do I find the one to enter?
In Florida, the number to look for is the parcel ID on the property appraiser's record. Enter the county and the APN as it appears on the 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 should a Florida buyer be able to see from above?
Wet ground and open water, drainage ditches and canals, flood zones, and the line where pasture meets wooded land. Flat, low ground makes wetland and flood acres the first thing a buyer asks about. The boundary is drawn on every view, and the imagery is the most recent aerial available for that county, usually one to three years old, with the date on the pack.
