Towns in Crowley County: Ordway.
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 14 FIRM panels covering Crowley County, the newest effective September 2024; 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 Crowley 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 Colorado public parcel layer (Governor's Office of Information Technology, from the counties that share their parcels), so a Crowley lot shows the same lines the county assessor draws. Crowley County covers about 503,954 acres of land and 8,259 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Crowley County assessor keeps the parcel record (Crowley County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
