Free, no account. Or open the Arkansas map and tap a lot.
Towns in Calhoun County: Hampton.
Flood zone by address
ParcelSheet reads FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer at the lot: the zone, whether it is a high risk area where lenders ask for flood insurance, and the base flood elevation where FEMA lists one. FEMA has 27 FIRM panels covering Calhoun County, the newest effective July 2012; no coastal V zones are mapped in it.
The official panel and any Letter of Map Amendment are at FEMA's Map Service Center. An elevation certificate for a Calhoun house comes from a licensed surveyor and is often on file with the county or city building office.
Property lines
The parcel outline, parcel number and mapped size come from the Arkansas GIS Office, statewide parcels from county assessors (CAMA), so a Calhoun lot shows the same lines the county assessor draws. Calhoun County covers about 402,304 acres of land and 2,443 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Calhoun County assessor keeps the parcel record (Calhoun County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
Zoning
Calhoun County zones its unincorporated land, and Hampton zones the land inside its limits. ParcelSheet shows the use the county assessor lists for the lot and links the county or city planning office for the district, the uses it allows and the lot size it needs.
ADU and guest houses
Under Arkansas's county planning law (Arkansas Code Title 14, Chapter 17, Subchapter 2), local governments can allow an accessory dwelling unit on a lot with a house. Whether a Calhoun lot can add one depends on its district; the county or city planning office has the rule. ParcelSheet shows the mapped lot size and the ground's slope, the first two things the question turns on.
Septic and soil
ParcelSheet reads the USDA soil survey at the lot: the soil's name, its septic absorption rating and whether it is prime farmland. Calhoun County is soil survey area AR620, Calhoun and Dallas Counties, Arkansas, last updated September 2026, on Web Soil Survey.
A new or changed septic system in Calhoun County needs a permit from the Calhoun County local health unit (Arkansas Department of Health onsite wastewater program).
