Ahead of any purchase around Good Hope, look at the Loganville flood zone map: FEMA's zone label affects insurance, permits and resale. What this Loganville guide covers: finding the address on FEMA's map, reading the zone codes, and confirming the outline on the county map.
The Loganville flood zone map: start here
The official source is FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: type an address near Social Circle, then open the map view for that panel. Vacant ground around Social Circle is still easy to locate: zoom in from Interstate 20 and click inside the land.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Walton County qPublic map; it maps every tax parcel around Monroe and Between. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow Interstate 20 on the aerial and click the parcel itself. Around Walnut Grove, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Where Loganville fits in
Loganville is part of Walton County, Georgia, which means parcel data comes from the county. If the land is near Good Hope, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the city limits near Social Circle generally follows county rules rather than the town's.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Between. On ground around Between, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Reading A, AE and X
If you're looking near Between, any A or V zone are Special Flood Hazard Areas, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. Out toward Good Hope, shaded Zone X marks moderate flood hazard, roughly the 100- to 500-year range; plain X, or C on older maps, is minimal risk.
Sections, lots and bearings
Tracts outside towns near Between commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Subdivision lots in Walnut Grove are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Between when you talk to a surveyor.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed through the Clerk of Superior Court; the parcel map near Walnut Grove only summarizes it. If you're looking near Between, have ready the document number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
What to request from a seller
Ask the seller about past flood claims for the house near Monroe; an insurance quote early keeps the budget honest.
Getting your bearings
Monroe is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Between, Walnut Grove, and Jersey, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 106,702 people call Walton County home (Census estimate, 2023) across some 327 square miles. Walton County was formed in 1818, and some chains of title near Jersey are long.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Walton County meets Barrow County, Gwinnett County, Morgan County, Newton County, and Oconee County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Walnut Grove can be split across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map too. For a parcel near Jersey, our state page lists every bordering county map across Georgia.
Parcel lines plus flood zones
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so check the Walton County qPublic map too to see exactly which lot near Between you're looking at.
Lenders and permits
With a lot near Social Circle, an Elevation Certificate from a surveyor helps: it compares the building to the BFE. Remodeling a house in a zone near Social Circle often needs a floodplain permit; ask the local floodplain administrator before you plan.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Between, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Monroe helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Low spots and local drainage
Small streams around Between may not have detailed mapping, so look for water marks and debris lines. Marshy spots near Good Hope can limit building too; the National Wetlands Inventory mapper shows mapped wetlands.
Quick answers
What does Zone AE mean near Jersey?
It depends, but an AE zone has a 1% annual chance of flooding and a base flood elevation, so builders near Social Circle design to that elevation.
How do I check the flood zone for an address in Loganville?
Short answer: FEMA's free map shows the zone for any spot near Monroe, and the zone code appears on the map.
What is a LOMA in Loganville?
Good question; you can ask FEMA for a LOMA if surveyed elevations show the building near Social Circle is above the BFE; a surveyor's elevation data supports it.
Is Zone X safe from flooding around Between?
It depends, but X zones around Walnut Grove are lower risk, not no risk; FEMA notes that a large share of claims come from these areas.
Can I print the parcel map for land near Good Hope?
Most viewers have a print or export tool, and it's worth keeping the parcel ID visible for land near Jersey.
