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

Hillside, sugarbush and old stone wall.
Vermont parcels are sloped and wooded, and what a buyer wants to know is where the flat is, whether there is a view, what the sugarbush looks like, and how the road reaches the lot. From the town road you see a bank and a culvert.
A woodlot in Essex County renders in the same ten minutes as a parcel in Chittenden County, and sugarbush, old field and stone walls read clearly from above.
Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
One parcel. Everything below.
One parcel. Maple on the upper slope, an old field growing in below, and a class III road along the front.

Asked by people selling Vermont ground.
Which Vermont counties can you do?
Any Vermont 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.
What do Vermont sellers order packs for?
Hardwood woodland and sugarbush, hillside pasture and old field, small farms, and pond and stream frontage. Typical uses there: camp and cabin sites, woodlots and sugaring, building lots, and small farms.
Will slope and a possible house site show up?
The contour map shows the slope honestly and the imagery shows the flat benches and old fields, which together is how buyers judge whether a site exists. Whether it can be permitted is a town and state matter.
Can you show the sugarbush and old field?
Broadly, yes. Maple stands, softwood, old pasture growing in and cleared field all read differently from above, and the boundary shows which is inside your line. It is not a tap count.
What is a SPAN in Vermont, and what do I enter for a parcel?
In Vermont, the number to look for is the parcel ID or the school property account number (SPAN) on the town record. Enter the town and the parcel ID as it appears on the town 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 Vermont hillside and woodland?
Slope and ledge, sugarbush against other woods, old field openings, brooks and wetland, and the town road or right of way that reaches the tract. 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.
