Navajo County, AZ zoning map, flood zone and property lines by address
Free, no account. Or open the Arizona map and tap a lot.
Towns in Navajo County: Show Low, Winslow, Snowflake.
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's countywide study for Navajo County has 300 FIRM panels, the newest effective March 2016; 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 Navajo 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 Arizona county parcel layers (each county publishes its own), so a Navajo lot shows the same lines the county assessor draws. Navajo County covers about 6,367,678 acres of land and 5,959 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Navajo County assessor keeps the parcel record (Navajo County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
Zoning
Navajo County zones its unincorporated land, and Show Low, Winslow, Snowflake each zone the land inside their limits. ParcelSheet shows the use the county assessor lists for the lot and links the county planning and zoning office for the district, the uses it allows and the lot size it needs.
ADU and guest houses
Under Arizona's county zoning law (Arizona Revised Statutes Title 11, Chapter 6, Article 2, starting at 11-811), local governments can allow an accessory dwelling unit on a lot with a house. Whether a Navajo lot can add one depends on its district; the county planning and zoning 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. Navajo County is soil survey area AZ633, Navajo County Area, Arizona, Central Part, last updated August 2026, on Web Soil Survey.
A new or changed septic system in Navajo County needs a permit from the Navajo County environmental services or health department, under authority delegated by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
Setbacks
Setbacks in Navajo County come from the zoning district: the front, side and rear distances a house must keep. ParcelSheet does not draw setback lines; the county zoning office gives them for the lot's district, and Show Low, Winslow, Snowflake for land inside their limits.
Hazards that apply
