Before you buy or build near Ira, look at the Scurry County flood zone map: FEMA's zone label affects insurance, building rules and resale. What this Scurry County guide covers: finding the address on FEMA's map, reading the zone codes, and pairing it with the Texas county CAD map.
Checking the Scurry County flood zone map step by step
For land near Snyder, the official source is FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: enter the street address, then open the map view for that panel. A tract near Hermleigh without an address can still be found: zoom in from the nearest road and click the spot.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Texas county CAD map; it covers every assessed parcel in the county, Ira included. For property near Fluvanna, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Ira, save the parcel ID while you have it open; every records desk in the county will want it.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Snyder looks off belong with the appraisal district, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Fluvanna are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
A word on accuracy
If the land is near Hermleigh, acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on the ground. Near Fluvanna, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Getting your bearings
Snyder serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. Other places on the map include Fluvanna, Hermleigh, Dunn, and Ira, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 16,212 people call Scurry County home (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 905 square miles. Scurry County dates to 1884, and some chains of title near Fluvanna are long.
Decoding the flood zone labels
With a lot near Ira, zones beginning with A or V mark the Special Flood Hazard Area, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. For a parcel near Ira, shaded Zone X is moderate risk, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; unshaded X is minimal risk.
Matching the zone to the lot lines
FEMA's map shows zones but not ownership, so pair it with the Texas county CAD map to see exactly which lot near Hermleigh you're looking at.
Lenders and permits
If a building sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area and the loan is federally backed or regulated, the lender will require flood insurance where the community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, and that holds around Snyder too. New construction in a floodplain near Snyder often needs a floodplain permit; call the permitting office early.
Legal descriptions in Texas
Older tracts around Fluvanna commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Town lots near Fluvanna are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Snyder before you request a deed or survey.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Snyder, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Dunn is a good backup.
Next door to Scurry County
Scurry County borders Borden County, Fisher County, Garza County, Kent County, and Mitchell County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Snyder may show up in two county records, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For acreage around Snyder, our state page links every bordering county map for Texas.
Where the recorded documents are
For land near Snyder, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the County Clerk. Older tracts near Fluvanna can go back through many deeds, so a title company earns its fee if money is changing hands.
Water near Hermleigh
Creeks and ditches near Snyder may not have detailed mapping, so walk the land after rain. Marshy spots near Fluvanna can limit building too; the National Wetlands Inventory mapper shows mapped wetlands.
What to request from a seller
Around Snyder, ask the seller whether the home has flooded before closing; getting a quote early avoids surprises.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
