Getting started

Locus helps you check a property before you spend time on it. Give it an address, ZIP, parcel, or area and it returns a cited early scan of the local records that may affect that place: tax burden and appeal windows, zoning and nearby development, flood and environmental exposure, road and transit projects, who represents the address, relevant legislation, and what is newly on file.

Try it on any address right now at locus.report. No sales call, no demo gate, no contract. The same engine powers the web app and the agent API.

Locus is awareness and verification, not a verdict. It does not score, rank, screen, value, predict, or label a person, property, block, or neighborhood as safe or unsafe, and it does not expose PII. Every answer keeps its source links so a person or agent can check the record. See Accuracy and boundaries.

What makes it useful

One early scan. Local records live across county, city, state, federal, GIS, tax, environmental, permitting, transportation, and policy systems. Locus connects the relevant pieces instead of making you open every portal by hand.

Coverage before confidence. Locus checks what it can support for a place before a paid result. If the record is thin, you get a free read on what is available and what to verify next.

Cited, not asserted. Each line points back to an official source with a timestamp. The recurring framing is to flag new filings, not to claim it detects every change.

Two ways to use it

As a person, start at locus.report: search an address, ask a property question, start Watch Plus for included reports, or follow a place for recurring updates.

As an agent, connect over MCP or A2A and call Locus inside a property workflow. See Agent workflows.

What you can get

  • A cited early scan of the public records on file for any place.
  • Unlimited reports with Watch Plus at $5/month: each report is a deeper cited briefing for one place, including who represents it and what to verify next. A deliberately shared report link is free for recipients to read. The report customizer can optionally pressure-test a price you already have against the cited record, but Locus never asserts a valuation of its own.
  • Following a place: a free county newsletter for area awareness, and Watch Plus for weekly parcel-specific analysis. See Follow a place.
