These are potential building sites — not active for-sale listings. Derived from public records (vacant/agricultural land with near-zero building value). Verify ownership & availability before acting on anything here.

Zoomed out, each circle is one city and its number is that city’s whole-city total; zoom in for the individual sites. Grey circles are cities we haven’t loaded yet— their number is the county’s own count of vacant or near-zero-value parcels, which we have not screened.
