Ahead of any building plan near Lafe, look at the Paragould zoning map early: the zoning district decides setbacks, lot size and uses. Covered here for Paragould: which office sets the rules for a lot, matching a lot to its zoning district, and what to ask the planning staff.
Getting started with the Paragould zoning map
Within municipal limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, so property inside Paragould answers to that map. For rural land toward Lafe, the county's ordinance, if any, takes over; confirm with the county office. To find out which side of the line a parcel is on: look for a city limits layer in the Greene County ArcGIS parcel map.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Greene County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Oak Grove Heights to Delaplaine. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, which applies near Delaplaine as much as anywhere. For a home near Delaplaine, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county will want it.
Places you'll see on the map
Paragould is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Oak Grove Heights, Lafe, Marmaduke, and Delaplaine. Around 46,743 people call Greene County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 577 square miles. Greene County was formed in 1833, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Where Paragould fits in
The city is part of Greene County, Arkansas, and the county assessor maps its lots around Marmaduke. As the county seat, Paragould hosts the courthouse, which puts the Circuit Clerk close by. For acreage around Oak Grove Heights, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the city limits near Marmaduke often follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Legal descriptions in Arkansas
Arkansas follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Delaplaine 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 corrections make some sections near Oak Grove Heights odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Marmaduke before you request a deed or survey.
What to ask before you buy
When you call about land near Marmaduke, give the parcel number and your intended use; ask what's allowed by right and what needs a permit. Ask whether a parcel near Delaplaine meets current minimum size, because nonconforming lots can carry limits.
Matching a lot to the Paragould zoning map
Start by finding the parcel on the Greene County ArcGIS parcel map, note the parcel number, and use it when you ask the planning office near Marmaduke. For acreage around Marmaduke, labels such as R-1, B-2 or AG stand for residential, commercial or agricultural districts; the letters vary from place to place.
Rules tied to a district
If you're looking near Oak Grove Heights, each district lists what's allowed outright and what needs approval. For property near Lafe, overlays, whether historic, floodplain or corridor, can add rules on top of the base district.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Delaplaine are filed with the Circuit Clerk. For property near Marmaduke, have ready the document number listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel near Delaplaine. If you're looking near Oak Grove Heights, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Permits after zoning
Even when zoning allows a use near Oak Grove Heights, a building permit is a separate step; health and road departments may weigh in on land near Delaplaine.
Asking for an exception
In and around Marmaduke, expect an application, a fee, notice to neighbors and a public hearing.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Lafe, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Delaplaine and its lines is a good backup.
Land on the county line
Greene County touches Clay County, Craighead County, Lawrence County, Randolph County, and Dunklin County, MO, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Oak Grove Heights may show up in two county records, so open the neighboring map as well.
