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 Laramie County has 128 FIRM panels, the newest effective January 2007; 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 Laramie 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 Wyoming statewide parcels (2026 tax year), from county assessors, so a Laramie lot shows the same lines the county assessor draws. Laramie County covers about 1,718,953 acres of land and 1,074 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Laramie County assessor keeps the parcel record (Laramie County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
Zoning
Laramie County zones its unincorporated land, and Cheyenne zones the land inside its 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 Wyoming's county planning and zoning law (Wyoming Statutes 18-5-201 through 18-5-208), local governments can allow an accessory dwelling unit on a lot with a house. Whether a Laramie 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
