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 Cloud County has 31 FIRM panels, the newest effective July 2014; 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 Cloud 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 Kansas county parcel layers (each county publishes its own), so a Cloud lot shows the same lines the county appraiser draws. Cloud County covers about 457,819 acres of land and 1,695 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Cloud County appraiser keeps the parcel record (Cloud County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
Zoning
Cloud County zones its unincorporated land, and Concordia zones the land inside its limits. ParcelSheet shows the use the county appraiser 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

Whether a Cloud 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
