What the numbers mean for a buyer

Population has fallen 17.0% since 2010. Thin comparable-sales data is the practical problem: fewer transactions means wider valuation uncertainty, and services like public water or broadband may be contracting rather than expanding. Verify that any utility a listing promises is actually still being extended.

TerraIQs carries 14,772 scored parcels across Duval County's 1,794 square miles — about 8 per square mile. That profile is large working tracts rather than subdivided lots, so soil, water and legal access carry most of the value.

Flood risk in Duval County

Duval County has 437 mapped Special Flood Hazard Area polygons. A parcel-level check matters because SFHA boundaries follow drainage, not property lines — adjacent parcels can carry completely different flood obligations, and a lender will require flood insurance on a structure in Zone A or AE.

Contamination and environmental records

No known contamination sites are recorded in Duval County in our source layers (EPA Superfund and state brownfields). That is a clean result for the datasets we carry, but these layers only cover reported sites — an unrecorded former dip vat, fuel tank or dump won't appear in any public layer.

What due diligence in Duval County involves

The county-level numbers above tell you what to expect; they don't settle any individual parcel. The checks that decide a deal — legal access, title exceptions, mineral severance, septic suitability, agricultural valuation rollback — are parcel-specific and partly document-based. Our Texas land due diligence checklist walks the full sequence in the order we'd run it, including which steps are free and which are worth paying for.

In Duval County specifically, note that pipeline crossings are common across Texas and are invisible from the road — pipeline easements restrict where you can build permanently.

Frequently asked

How many parcels does TerraIQs cover in Duval County?

TerraIQs carries 14,772 scored parcels in Duval County. Statewide the dataset covers 14.3M+ parcels across all 254 counties; the scored subset is the rural-shard parcels, while urban and residential lots have full dossiers without a quality score.

Is land in Duval County in a flood zone?

Duval County has 437 mapped Special Flood Hazard Area polygons. Whether a specific parcel is affected depends on drainage rather than property lines, so it needs a parcel-level check — a single parcel can span both Zone AE and Zone X.

What does a Duval County parcel report include?

Flood zones, pipeline and utility proximity, contamination site distance, water well records, NRCS soil and septic suitability, slope and terrain, zoning where it exists, infrastructure, protected areas, critical habitat, road access with traffic counts, and population growth context — each with its source dataset version and retrieval date.
