Before an offer near Bear River City, look at the Brigham City flood zone map: the zone on that map shapes insurance, permits and resale. Covered here for Brigham City: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and confirming the outline on the county map.
Checking the Brigham City flood zone map step by step
Start with FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: search an address around Willard, then open the map view for that panel. Vacant ground around Corinne is still easy to locate: zoom in from US Route 89 and click the spot.
The free map to start with
Property in and around Honeyville are published on the Box Elder County ArcGIS parcel map, free to use and open without a login. Without an address in hand, follow US Route 89 on the aerial and select the outline. Closer to Honeyville, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Water near Perry
Creeks and ditches near Honeyville may not have detailed mapping, so ask neighbors about past flooding. Wetlands near Mantua can limit building even outside a flood zone; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Corinne, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Mantua and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Brigham City, UT: the basics
Brigham City is part of Box Elder County, Utah, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Brigham City hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. If you're looking near Honeyville, City or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits out by Mantua often falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Zones on the Brigham City flood zone map
For land near Corinne, any A or V zone are Special Flood Hazard Areas, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. For a home near Bear River City, a shaded X area is moderate risk, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; plain X, or C on older maps, means minimal mapped risk.
Matching the zone to the lot lines
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so open the Box Elder County ArcGIS parcel map next to see exactly which lot near Honeyville you're looking at.
Questions to ask before you buy
Ask the seller whether the home has flooded for the house near Honeyville; getting a quote early avoids surprises.
What a flood zone means for a buyer
For a structure inside an A or V zone and the loan is federally backed or regulated, mandatory purchase rules apply where the community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, which applies near Willard as much as anywhere. New construction in a floodplain near Willard usually means extra permit review; ask the local floodplain administrator before you plan.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Willard are filed with the County Recorder. Long-held tracts around Perry can sit on many deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Places you'll see on the map
Brigham City serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Perry, Corinne, Mantua, and Willard, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 62,684 people live in Box Elder County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 5,746 square miles. Box Elder County dates to 1856, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Landmarks such as Great Salt Lake, Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, and Caribou-Targhee National Forest help you orient on the aerial around Mantua.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Bear River City. Closer to Mantua, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
