Subdivided Land Photos and Lot Listings from a Plat

Short answer

Dirt Flight can split a finished parcel pack into lots and render a full pack for each lot. Upload a surveyor's recorded plat as a PDF, including a CAD printed plat with no text layer, which is read by text recognition, or upload a KML, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile of the lots, or draw the corners on the parcel's aerial. Every lot gets its own boundary aerial, 3D views, topo, ground facts and listing text, you get an overview map of the lots, one shareable lot table, and one download with the parent and every lot. Up to 12 lots per run. Boundaries are approximate and not a survey.

Step 1 of 5

Start with the surveyor's plat.

A recorded plat is the drawing of every lot line, with the surveyor's acreage printed on each lot. It is where most subdivisions start, and it is a flat sheet that no buyer can picture.

Step 2 of 5

Upload the plat PDF.

Dirt Flight reads the line work off the page, drawn CAD plats too, and fits it to your parcel. The lot lines are the surveyor's and snap onto the aerial.

Step 3 of 5

The parcel splits into its lots.

Five lots, each with its number and the exact acres from the plat: 5.07, 5.08, 6.19, 6.26 and 6.52.

Step 4 of 5

Every lot gets its own pack.

Boundary aerial, 3D views, a road view and a pop-out for each lot, with ground facts, listing text and a social kit. Here is one picture from each lot's own pack.

Step 5 of 5

One plat in. A pack for every lot out.

Precise lot lines and surveyor acreage, fitted to your parcel, then one click renders every lot.

What the lot map looks like.

The overview draws every lot on the parent's aerial with its number and acres, so a buyer sees the whole offering in one picture. This is a real five lot subdivision in Newton County, Indiana, read from a recorded plat. The lot acreages are the surveyor's, taken from the plat.

Each lot is then rendered on its own, with its own boundary aerial, 3D views, topo, road frontage and ground facts. The lot also gets a view that shows where it sits among its sibling lots.

Before and after

Parent tract, then five lots.

Before and after, on the same ground. On the left the parent parcel is one 30.4 acre tract. On the right the surveyor's lot lines turn it into five lots, each with its own number and acres, ready to list one by one.

Aerial view of the same Newton County, Indiana tract split into five lots outlined in different colors, each labeled with its number and acres — After: the same tract as five lots, 5.07 to 6.52 acres.

Every lot also gets a view that shows where it sits among its siblings, so a buyer of one lot sees the neighbors.

Rendered, not photographed. Lot lines come from the recorded plat; they are approximate and not a survey.

Plat PDFs, even the ones with no text.

Dirt Flight reads the line work of a plat PDF, finds the closed lot shapes, takes the scale from the printed scale or the dimension labels, and places the lots on your parcel. Many surveyors send a CAD print where every letter is an outline and the PDF has no text layer. Dirt Flight renders those pages and reads them with text recognition, so lot labels and acreages still come through. If the plat has no lot labels, the closed pieces are numbered Lot 1, Lot 2 and so on from west to east.

Checks keep you honest. If the plat's outline overlaps the parcel's mapped boundary by less than 70 percent, Dirt Flight refuses it as not this parcel's plat, and below 88 percent it warns you that the fit is loose. A lot taken from a plat keeps the plat's own lines and cites the surveyor's acreage. A lot you drag or draw is measured from the drawing and labeled as not a survey.

What every lot gets.

A full pack at the parent's tier

Each lot is a full pack at the same package as the parent. In the sample, that is Paydirt: boundary aerial, four 3D views, orbit video, topo, buildability by slope, flood and wetland, soils and septic notes, utilities and road frontage. Buildable: ground outside mapped slope, flood and wetland areas. A screen, not a zoning, septic or permit approval.

Its own ground facts

Acreage, road frontage measured for that lot, buildable acres and nearby towns, so no lot borrows the parent's numbers.

Listing text and a social kit

Listing text for the lot with its acres, frontage and distance to town, plus captions, carousel images and reels sized for social posts.

A lot in context view

One image of the lot outlined among its sibling lots, so a buyer can place it.

A shareable lot page

Each lot can have its own share link that carries a buyer inquiry form.

Parent tract too

The whole tract keeps its own full pack, so the offering also works as one parcel.

Rendered, not photographed. Lot lines come from the recorded plat; they are approximate and not a survey.

Fast, against a drone pilot per lot.

A rural drone shoot commonly runs $150 to $600 per site and typically takes five to nine days. For a five lot split that is five shoots, or one long one, and each lot still needs its boundary drawn. A Dirt Flight pack is $79 on Paydirt, or PayDirt Pro is $199 a month for 20 packs. The whole tract and each lot each count as a pack, and the lots render one after another, so a bigger subdivision takes longer than a single parcel. Every pack is free for a limited time while we launch.

A drone gives you real photographs of the ground today. Dirt Flight renders the lots from recent aerial imagery, so many sellers use both.

Another subdivision

A two lot split, too.

It works for a simple split as well. This is a 20 acre tract in Wakulla County, Florida, divided into two lots of about 10.4 acres each, with a pop-out and a What You're Buying panel for each.

Rendered, not photographed. Lot lines come from the recorded plat; they are approximate and not a survey.

Adjoining parcels

Adjoining parcels: the whole tract and each lot.

Selling several adjoining parcels is a different job from cutting a new subdivision, and the same account handles both. Enter the parcel numbers once and the adjoining parcels render as one tract. Tick the whole tract, each parcel as its own lot, or both, and each choice comes back as its own listing pack, so there is one pack for every way you might sell.

A buyer who wants the whole holding gets the whole tract, and a buyer who only wants one piece gets that lot, both listed on the same day. The whole tract plus up to 5 lots sits inside one Subdivide / Multi-parcel pack, and a tract that needs new lines can then be split into lots as described above. Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.

Subdivide / Multi-parcel pack pricing.

Subdivide / Multi-parcel pack: $149 for the whole tract plus up to 5 lots. 6 or more: contact us for a quote. Free for a limited time, like every pack.

What it does not do.

It is not a survey, and it does not make a subdivision legal. County approval and recording are the owner's job. Read how to subdivide land for the steps.
Boundaries are approximate and follow the plat you upload, and a lot you draw yourself is not a survey.
Lots from a plat are placed on your parcel, so the leftover ground, usually road right-of-way, will not add up to the parcel.
It does not test septic or confirm utilities. Soils and utility service are only screened, so confirm with the health department and providers.
Up to 12 lots per run and a 30 MB plat of up to 8 pages. A plat with too much line work to read is refused with a message.

Straight answers

Questions people ask about this.

Can I upload a plat PDF to Dirt Flight?

Yes. Upload the recorded plat as a PDF up to 30 MB and 8 pages. A CAD printed plat with no text layer is read by text recognition.

How many lots can I render at once?

Up to 12 lots in one run. The Subdivide / Multi-parcel pack price covers the whole tract plus 5 lots, and 6 or more lots are quoted, so contact us before you render more than 5.

What does each lot get?

A full pack at the same package as the parent, with its own boundary aerial, 3D views, topo, ground facts, listing text and share page. On Paydirt that includes buildability, soils, utilities and road frontage. Buildable: ground outside mapped slope, flood and wetland areas. A screen, not a zoning, septic or permit approval.

Can I draw the lots instead of uploading a plat?

Yes. Click the corners of each lot on the parcel's aerial, or upload a KML, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile. Every corner can be dragged.

Is the lot boundary a survey?

No. Boundaries are approximate. A lot from a plat keeps the plat's lines and acreage, and a lot you draw is measured from the drawing. Neither replaces a survey.

How much does a subdivision pack cost?

Subdivide / Multi-parcel pack: $149 for the whole tract plus up to 5 lots. 6 or more: contact us for a quote. It is free for a limited time, like every pack. On PayDirt Pro, the whole tract and each lot each count as one of the month's packs.

Does Dirt Flight handle county approval?

No. County approval and recording are the owner's job. Dirt Flight makes the marketing and screening packs once you have the lots.

Can I market adjoining parcels together and separately?

Yes. Enter the parcel numbers once, tick the whole tract, each parcel as its own lot, or both, and each choice comes back as its own listing pack. The whole tract plus up to 5 lots is covered by one Subdivide / Multi-parcel pack, and the tract can then be split into lots you draw or upload.
