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.

The official panel and any Letter of Map Amendment are at FEMA's Map Service Center. An elevation certificate for a Coffee 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 Tennessee Comptroller property boundaries layer (from each county assessor of property), so a Coffee lot shows the same lines the assessor of property draws. Coffee County covers about 274,537 acres of land and 3,578 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Coffee County assessor of property keeps the parcel record (Coffee County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
