DirtFlight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of land in Maryland, 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 Maryland. 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, 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.

Small state, four different kinds of land.
Maryland runs from tidewater to the Allegheny plateau in a few hours. A Dorchester County tract is about marsh line and ditching; a Garrett County tract is about slope and road access. The one thing both buyers want is the whole parcel in one frame with the line drawn on it.
A tract in Caroline County renders in the same ten minutes as one in Frederick County, and marsh edge, woods line and tillable separate at a glance.
Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
One parcel. Everything below.
One parcel. Tillable on the high ground, woods to the ditch, and marsh along the back line.

Where Maryland land actually trades.
These are the counties land buyers ask about most.
Any Maryland 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.

Rules for splitting a Maryland tract differ by county, so start with the county 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 Maryland ground.
Which Maryland counties can you do?
Any Maryland 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 Maryland properties do sellers build packs for?
Tidewater farmland and marsh on the Eastern Shore, Piedmont farms and woodlots, mountain acreage in the west, and small tracts near the Chesapeake. Typical uses there: farms, homesites, waterfront and hunting tracts, and woodland.
Will marsh and tidal edge show up on the imagery?
They do. Marsh, ditching, sitting water and the darker wet ground read from above, and the contour map shows the fall across low tracts where a foot matters. Tidal boundaries move, so the line drawn is the parcel record, not the current water line.
Can you show woods, tillable and the split between them?
Yes. Worked ground, woods line, hedgerow and waterway are all visible inside your own boundary, which is how most Maryland buyers size a tract before driving to it.
Which Maryland number do I enter, the account number or the map, grid and parcel?
In Maryland, the number to look for is the account number or the map, grid and parcel on the 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 shows from above on Maryland farm, marsh and waterfront land?
Marsh and the tidal edge, field and woodland splits, ditches and drainage, and the creek or shoreline frontage that defines a waterfront lot. 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.
