Free, no account. Or open the Nebraska map and tap a lot.
Towns in Frontier County: Stockville.
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 Frontier County has 31 FIRM panels, the newest effective April 2008; 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 Frontier 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 NebraskaMAP statewide parcel layer (from each county assessor), so a Frontier lot shows the same lines the county assessor draws. Frontier County covers about 623,779 acres of land and 3,471 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Frontier County assessor keeps the parcel record (Frontier County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
Zoning
Frontier County zones its unincorporated land, and Stockville zones the land inside its limits. ParcelSheet shows the use the county assessor lists for the lot and links the county zoning office for the district, the uses it allows and the lot size it needs.
ADU and guest houses
Under Nebraska's county zoning law (Neb. Rev. Stat. 23-114) and each city's zoning powers, local governments can allow an accessory dwelling unit on a lot with a house. Whether a Frontier lot can add one depends on its district; the county 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. Frontier County is soil survey area NE063, Frontier County, Nebraska, last updated September 2026, on Web Soil Survey.
A new or changed septic system in Frontier County must be registered with the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy onsite wastewater program (Title 124).
Setbacks

Hazards that apply
