Before you buy a lot near Jacksonville with a plan in mind, pull up the Maumelle zoning map before anything else: the zoning district can make or break the plan. This Maumelle guide covers: which office sets the rules for a lot, matching a lot to its zoning district, and what to ask the planning staff.
Reading the Maumelle zoning map for one lot
Inside town or city limits, the local government adopts its own zoning map, so property inside Maumelle is governed there. Past the city line, around Wrightsville, the county's ordinance, if any, takes over; ask the county planning office to be sure. The quickest way to tell which applies: ask whether the parcel near Sherwood is inside the boundary.
The viewer Pulaski County publishes
Lots and tracts near Wrightsville are published on the Pulaski County parcel viewer, a viewer that needs no account. For a parcel near Jacksonville, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For property near Jacksonville, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Building permits and inspections
Once zoning clears a project near Jacksonville, you still need building permits and inspections; health and road departments may weigh in on land near North Little Rock.
Getting answers from the right desk
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Cammack Village sit in the index kept by the Circuit Clerk, often with an online index. Building or septic questions for a lot near North Little Rock need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
City limits and county records
Maumelle sits in Pulaski County, Arkansas, and the county assessor maps its lots. Out toward Sherwood, 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 near Wrightsville often follows county rules instead.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on land around Cammack Village. Closer to Little Rock, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Matching a lot to the Maumelle zoning map
Look up the lot on the Pulaski County parcel viewer first, copy its parcel ID, then compare it to the zoning map from the office covering Maumelle. Around North Little Rock, labels such as R-1, B-2 or AG stand for residential, commercial or agricultural districts; the letters vary from place to place.
Neighboring parcel maps
Pulaski County borders Faulkner County, Grant County, Jefferson County, Lonoke County, and Perry County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near North Little Rock that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well. For a home near Cammack Village, our state page links each neighboring county map across Arkansas.
