TractBuilder Online Mapping

Map a legal description in your browser. No ArcGIS Pro license. No desktop install. Built for title companies, real estate teams, and anyone who occasionally needs to turn a paper description into a boundary — at a price that makes it easy to say yes.

  • Quartering and metes-and-bounds modes, both included
  • Saved projects, legal history, PDF export
  • Works on any modern browser — any device
TractBuilder Online Mapping portal in a browser — hero visual.

The mapping tool for people who don't do mapping all day.

You're not a GIS analyst and you shouldn't have to become one to plot a legal description. Online Mapping takes the same geometry engine that powers our desktop tools and puts it behind a simple web UI: paste a description, pick your mode, see the polygon. Save the project, export a PDF, move on.

Occasional use shouldn't cost enterprise money. Online Mapping is priced to fit a title office or a real estate firm that needs this three times a week, not three hundred.

Projects, History, PDF Export

Organize descriptions into projects. Revisit any legal you've mapped. Export a PDF of the map and the description for your working file. No file system, no versions-of-versions.

Any Device. Any Browser.

A laptop in the field, a tablet in a closing, a phone at your desk — Online Mapping works on any modern browser. Nothing to install, nothing to license per machine.

Same Section Database as Our Desktop Tools

Online Mapping is backed by the same hosted PLSS database that powers the Quartering Tool and AutoQuartering.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Online Sections Database

No section layer? No problem. Pull PLSS sections directly from our hosted database β€” search by state, county, and meridian, and the sections you need appear as a working layer on demand. Start mapping in seconds, not hours.

Who Uses Online Mapping

Title Companies

Plot the legal from a commitment or a deed without asking the GIS team. Save it to the project, PDF it into the file. Done.

Real Estate Teams

Check a boundary before closing, verify a listing description against the plat, show a client where the property actually sits — all from a browser.

Occasional Mappers

If ArcGIS Pro is overkill for your needs, Online Mapping gives you the same geometry without the license, the install, or the learning curve.

Map your first description in minutes.

No install. No seat license. No GIS team required.
