Who's living on your street?
See what your neighbors don't tell you. Neighborhood Scanner scans your street with live public data, then shows you who lives nearby, who just moved in, what the house next door sold for and what's going up down the block. It keeps watch on your own deed and the weather too.

Why we're different
Most background-check and people-search sites sell you a one-time report. Neighborhood Scanner keeps watching your home and your street, every day.
Ongoing home alerts, not one-time reports
Title & deed change alerts, move-in and registered offender proximity alerts, and storm and recall alerts keep working after you sign up.
Look out for your whole family
Cover up to 3 homes on Family Watch, like yours and your parents', with separate alerts for each.
Honest pricing
One clear price, shown up front. No $1 trials that turn into surprise charges.
Built for homeowners
Property tax appeal check, home value tracker, permit and construction alerts, contractor checks, maintenance reminders and a savings finder.
Privacy-first, easy opt-out
We don't sell your personal information, and anyone can ask us to suppress their own record online.

Questions, answered
What is Neighborhood Scanner?
A neighborhood awareness and home alerts service. We combine public and commercially available records into a private dashboard for your street, with alerts for home sales, move-ins, deed filings on your own home, registered offender registry proximity, permits, storms, floods, wildfires and product recalls.
Where does the information come from?
County assessor and recorder offices, licensed public-record data providers, state offender registries (through licensed providers), local permit offices, state contractor licensing boards, the National Weather Service, FEMA, the EPA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Each item shows its source and date.
Is the information always accurate?
No dataset is perfect. Public records can be delayed, incomplete or wrong, and we can't guarantee accuracy. Always confirm important information with the official source we link to.
Can I use Neighborhood Scanner to screen a tenant, employee or nanny?
No. Neighborhood Scanner is not a consumer reporting agency and our data is not a consumer report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You may not use it to decide on housing, employment, credit, insurance or any other eligibility. See our FCRA notice.
Are title & deed change alerts the same as title insurance?
No. You get an alert when a new document is recorded on your property so you can check it with your county recorder. It's an information service only: it isn't insurance and doesn't cover losses or fix title problems.
Are the home value and tax appeal numbers official?
No. Home values are estimates based on public sales data, and the tax appeal check is an informational comparison, not tax or legal advice. Your county assessor's records are the official source.
