Towns in Duchesne County: Roosevelt, Duchesne.
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 37 FIRM panels covering Duchesne County, the newest effective June 2020; 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 Duchesne 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 Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC), statewide parcels from county recorders and assessors, so a Duchesne lot shows the same lines the county assessor draws. Duchesne County covers about 2,070,735 acres of land and 9,590 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Duchesne County assessor keeps the parcel record (Duchesne County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
Zoning
Duchesne County zones its unincorporated land, and Roosevelt, Duchesne each zone the land inside their limits. ParcelSheet shows the use the county assessor 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
Under Utah's County Land Use, Development, and Management Act (Utah Code Title 17, Chapter 79), local governments can allow an accessory dwelling unit on a lot with a house. Whether a Duchesne 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
ParcelSheet reads the USDA soil survey at the lot: the soil's name, its septic absorption rating and whether it is prime farmland. Duchesne County is soil survey area UT013, Duchesne Area, Utah, Parts of Duchesne, Utah, and Wasatch Counties, last updated September 2026, on Web Soil Survey.
