Three focused, productized offerings.

01

Property Environmental Screening

Best when you're looking at a property and want to know whether public mapping shows nearby floodplain, wetland, woodland, watercourse, regulated area, or natural heritage constraints.

  • Property location map & site context
  • Regulated-area / conservation mapping
  • Floodplain or hazard mapping review
  • Wetland and woodland proximity
  • Watercourse and buffer mapping
  • Suggested next questions
From $2492–3 business days

A "simple property" = under 5 acres, urban or suburban lot, single parcel, no major water features. Final pricing depends on size, location, available data, and deliverables.

  • Watercourse / wetland / woodland map
  • Exportable PDF maps

What we do — and what we don't.

Zavia GIS is intentionally scoped as a preliminary screening and mapping service. That focus is the reason our pricing is reasonable and our turnaround is fast.
