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 Volusia County has 125 FIRM panels, the newest effective September 2017; coastal V zones, where waves add to the flood, are mapped along its shore.
The official panel and any Letter of Map Amendment are at FEMA's Map Service Center. An elevation certificate for a Volusia house comes from a licensed surveyor and is often on file with the county or city building office (Building and Code Administration).
Property lines

Volusia County covers about 704,802 acres of land and 211,978 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Volusia County Property Appraiser keeps the parcel record; a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
