PropStream vs MapWise for a Florida commercial broker
PropStream is a national prospecting platform: from $99 a month it lists MLS data, comps, 165-plus filters, lead lists and mail and dialer campaigns, and its pages name no commercial product. MapWise is a Florida map at $89 a month that lists what a commercial site check here leans on: zoning, future land use, FDOT traffic counts and a company owner's Sunbiz officers. A broker who works Florida sites one at a time is closer to MapWise; Map Views does that work for $47 and adds the people behind the company that manages the owner.

PropStream's FAQ says its property types come from the county tax assessors' classes, as the Florida roll's use codes do here. Neither vendor's pages name who occupies a building or on what lease, and we have neither: for that, a broker still needs a commercial listing service or the owner.
What one county's commercial roll holds
Orange County, measured on 1 November 2026: every improved commercial parcel and every industrial one (Florida DOR use codes 011 to 049).
| Orange County, codes 011 to 049 | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial and industrial parcels | 23,648 | 100% |
| With a zoning district | 23,505 | 99.4% |
| With a future land use category | 23,530 | 99.5% |
| With building square feet on the roll | 22,155 | 93.7% |
| Owner matched to a Sunbiz filing | 12,451 | 52.7% |
| Of those, with principals listed one or more companies up | 1,851 | 14.9% |
In 2025 the state's sales file holds 1,860 sale records on these parcels; 505 of them, 27.2%, were sales of several parcels together, and 668 were coded 01 or 02, the Department of Revenue's qualified sales. A package sale's price covers every parcel in it, which is why our comps leave multi-parcel sales out.
When PropStream fits the broker better
- Prospecting owners in bulk. Its lists, filters and mail campaigns are built for it. We supply no lead lists and no owner contact lookups.
- MLS records and listings. Every PropStream plan lists them. MapWise and Map Views work from the county roll and recorded sales.
- Sites in other states. PropStream is national; both Florida tools stop at the line.
- A team. Pro includes 2 seats and Elite 9. Here every member keeps their own $47 plan.
When a Florida map fits better
- Read the site's rules first. Zoning, future land use, flood zone and wetlands, on the parcel, before a call is made.
- Open the owner's filing. Over half of Orange's commercial and industrial parcels have an owner matched to a Sunbiz filing. The report lists its officers and registered agent, and where a manager is itself a company, the people there; see the post on LLCs managed by LLCs.
- Price it off recorded sales. Single-parcel sales coded 01 to 06, within a ring you set, with the median per acre and per square foot.
- Note it and move on. Your notes stay on the parcel for the next time you open it.
Choose MapWise over Map Views if you need its 50,000-record exports, its Parcels API or its iPhone app; ours runs in the phone's browser.
Where it stops
- Florida only. All 67 counties, and nothing past them.
- Public records only. No occupants, leases or asking prices, and no estimated values: the county's just value and the recorded sales.
- Sales arrive late. Orange's newest month in the state file is June 2026; later deeds are not in it yet.
PropStream's and MapWise's plans, prices and features are as their own pages showed them on 1 November 2026; "not stated" means a page does not say either way. The parcel facts are the Orange County Property Appraiser's roll and the Florida Department of Revenue's sales file; company filings are the Florida Division of Corporations'.
