Weighing a property around Junction City? The Danville flood zone map tells you whether it sits in a FEMA flood zone, and no account is needed. In this Danville guide: finding the address on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the Danville-Boyle County Planning & Zoning GIS Map.
Where the Danville flood zone map lives
The official source is FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: search an address around Junction City, and pick the FIRMette or map view. A tract near Perryville without an address is still easy to locate: pan from the closest town and click the spot.
Opening the official parcel viewer
The public parcel map for this area is the Danville-Boyle County Planning & Zoning GIS Map, and anyone can open it without signing up. Around Perryville, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For property near Perryville, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.

About 30,988 people live in Boyle County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 180 square miles. Boyle County was organized in 1842, and some chains of title near Perryville are long.
Reading the legal description

What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines for a parcel near Perryville. Records update in batches, so a recent sale near Junction City can take weeks to appear.
City limits and county records
Danville lies within Boyle County, Kentucky, and the county assessor maps its lots. Danville is also the county seat, which puts the County Clerk close by. If you're looking near Junction City, City or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits toward Junction City generally falls under county rules instead.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Perryville, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Perryville with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.

Beyond the mapped zones

For a tract near Junction City, get the Elevation Certificate if one exists: it can change the insurance price a lot. Remodeling a house in a zone near Perryville often needs a floodplain permit; ask the local floodplain administrator early.
