Before you buy or build near Versailles, pull up the Woodford County flood zone map: the zone on that map shapes insurance, permits and resale. In this Woodford County guide: finding the address on FEMA's map, reading the zone codes, and pairing it with the Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Planning Commission Zoning Map.
Where the Woodford County flood zone map lives
If the land is near Millville, flood zones come from FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: enter the street address, then open the map view for that panel. Rural land near Millville with no street number can still be found: search the nearest road then click the parcel area.
The free map to start with
Your first stop is the Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Planning Commission Zoning Map; it maps each tax parcel around Nonesuch and Millville. For a parcel near Mortonsville, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a tract near Millville, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every office in the county asks for it first.
Beyond the mapped zones
Small streams around Pinckard may not have detailed mapping, so ask neighbors about past flooding. Wetlands near Millville can limit building even outside a flood zone; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Legal descriptions in Kentucky
Tracts outside towns near Pinckard commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Subdivision lots in Versailles usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Pisgah for any title or survey request.
Reading A, AE and X
For a parcel near Mortonsville, any A or V zone mark the Special Flood Hazard Area, meaning a 1% or greater chance of flooding each year. On ground around Millville, a shaded X area marks moderate flood hazard, roughly the 100- to 500-year range; unshaded X means minimal mapped risk.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For acreage around Millville, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the County Clerk. For property near Midway, use the book and page from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
Use the county map alongside FEMA
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so check the Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Planning Commission Zoning Map too to see exactly which lot near Pisgah you're looking at.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Nonesuch, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Mortonsville with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Woodford County meets Anderson County, Fayette County, Franklin County, Jessamine County, and Mercer County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Pinckard can be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. If the land is near Nonesuch, our state page links every neighboring county map across Kentucky.
What the map can't tell you
For land near Mortonsville, the acreage figure is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on the ground. For a home near Mortonsville, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Offices that can help
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Pinckard belong with the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Millville go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
What a flood zone means for a buyer
For land near Pinckard, an Elevation Certificate from a surveyor helps: it records the building's elevation against the base flood. Remodeling a house in a zone near Pinckard usually means extra permit review; ask the local floodplain administrator early.
What to request from a seller
For property near Midway, ask the listing agent whether the home has flooded before closing; getting a quote early keeps the budget honest.

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.
