Reports and monitoring

Start with a free early scan. Give Locus a place and a focus. It reads the relevant records, shows what may affect use, cost, plans, or future value, and can keep watching for changes.

What you can get

  • Early scan. A fast cited read of what to check before a property deserves more time.
  • Place report. A deeper property-context read for a supported address or area.
  • Before-you-sign bundle. Parcel facts, recent local changes, policy context, and source availability for deeper review.
  • Trend brief. What is shifting near a place and the questions worth chasing next.
  • Policy brief. State, county, or city decisions relevant to a property goal.
  • Environmental context. County-level environmental and water-system findings.
  • Recurring digest. Ongoing checks with updates when something official changes.

How a report works

You provide a place and a focus: tax burden, nearby rezonings, development pipeline, flood and environmental exposure, or what changed since last time. Locus checks coverage, pulls the relevant lanes, and returns a scan or report around that focus.

The report doubles as a verification checklist. Current facts, official calendars, proposed changes, and caveats stay separate. On property tax, estimates come from adopted rates and assessed values when an official parcel source supports them. A proposed change appears only as scenario language when an official record backs it.

Locus reports what the record says and where to verify it. It does not tell you whether to buy, sell, appeal, insure, lease, or approve someone.

Recurring monitoring

  1. Start. Enter an address and an email. You confirm with one click.
  2. Baseline. Locus records the current state as your starting point.
  3. Check. Locus re-checks relevant sources on a regular cadence.
  4. Update on change. When something new appears, you get one email with the change and any important dates.
  5. Steer. Tell Locus what the next update should focus on.
  6. Stop anytime. Every email has one-click unsubscribe, and signed-in users can cancel or delete a watch from the app.

The first tracked property is free. More properties, faster cadences, and deeper loops are coming as paid tiers.

Ask a question first

The web app also has a chat assistant for one-off questions. Each turn checks what is available for your property and answers from returned tool results.

How to use it

  • As a person: start at locus.report. Enter an address and a goal, get a coverage read first, then the full report if the property is supported.
  • As an agent: call Locus inside a property workflow. See Agent workflows.

Boundary

Coverage comes first. If Locus cannot ground a property in real records, you get a free read of what is and is not available, not a charge. More on sourcing and limits lives in Accuracy and boundaries.
