Hoping to build or change how land near Sherwood is used? Start by checking the North Little Rock zoning map, since the zoning district decides the answer. What this city guide covers: which office sets the rules for a lot, matching a lot to its zoning district, and when a variance or rezoning comes up.
Getting started with the North Little Rock zoning map
Inside town or city limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, so property inside North Little Rock is governed there. Outside those limits, near Sherwood or Jacksonville, the county may have its own zoning, or none at all; the county planning or zoning office can confirm. To find out which side of the line a parcel is on: ask whether the parcel near Maumelle is inside the boundary.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Pulaski County parcel viewer; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Wrightsville included. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from Maumelle and click the parcel itself. If the land is near Wrightsville, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
A word on accuracy
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Maumelle may sit some distance off the line on screen. Out toward Little Rock, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Permits after zoning
Once zoning clears a project near Sherwood, you still need building permits and inspections; health and road departments may weigh in on land near Little Rock.
North Little Rock and the county around it
North Little Rock is part of Pulaski County, Arkansas, so its parcels are on the county's map. Closer to Wrightsville, 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 toward Sherwood usually falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Getting your bearings
Little Rock serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Sherwood, Cammack Village, and Jacksonville. About 400,009 people live in Pulaski County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 758 square miles. Pulaski County was organized in 1818, and some chains of title near Cammack Village are long.
Next door to Pulaski County
Pulaski County borders Faulkner County, Grant County, Jefferson County, Lonoke County, and Perry County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Wrightsville may show up across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map too. In and around Wrightsville, our state page lists each bordering county map across Arkansas.
Finding a parcel's zoning district
Start by finding the parcel on the Pulaski County parcel viewer, note the parcel number, then compare it to the zoning map from the office covering North Little Rock. In and around Sherwood, labels such as R-1, B-2 or AG stand for residential, commercial or agricultural districts; the letters vary from place to place.
How land is described here
Arkansas follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Cammack Village is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Wrightsville can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Cammack Village before you request a deed or survey.
Setbacks, lot size and uses
Around Jacksonville, the ordinance spells out what's allowed outright and what needs approval. For acreage around Sherwood, overlay districts, such as floodplain, historic or airport zones, can add rules on top of the base district.
Variances and rezoning
If you're looking near Sherwood, expect an application, a fee, notice to neighbors and a public hearing.
Calling planning staff
Have the parcel ID ready and describe the plan for the lot near Wrightsville; staff can point to the right section of the ordinance. Also ask whether the lot near Jacksonville is a legal lot of record, because nonconforming lots can carry limits.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Maumelle, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Jacksonville keeps working without signal.
