How this service works
Research one property or compare a shortlist before a showing, offer, project, or tax appeal. Run free public-record checks, then buy deeper x402 reports with ready-to-run next steps.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a report ID, generation timestamp, a list of records from local sources, parcel rules, and risk signals relevant to the property, plus any caveats about data completeness or reliability.
Example use cases
Quick risk check before offer
“Before I make an offer on this property at 156 Oak Ridge Drive in Denver, can you scan it for any red flags or risk signals that might affect its value or my ability to use it?”
Understand zoning limits for renovation
“I'm thinking about expanding my deck and adding a second story to my house. Can you scan the property records and zoning rules for my address to see what restrictions or parcel rules I should know about?”
Investment portfolio property screening
“I've got a list of five properties in Austin that might be good rental investments. Can you run a quick scan on each one to surface any local records, zoning issues, or risk signals that could affect their investment potential?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.locus.report/api/locus-public-utilities?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.05) preliminary scan of a US property's local records, zoning rules, and risk signals before committing to deeper due diligence. Ideal for early-stage real estate research, buyer screening, or investment triage where a full title or appraisal report is not yet warranted.
Side effects
- Address not found or unrecognized — returns empty records array
- ZIP code provided without address yields less precise parcel-level data
- Non-US addresses not supported
- Malformed or missing input fields return validation errors
- Data may be incomplete for rural or low-coverage areas
