Penelope,
The county records will have this information. If you make contact with the local building department, they may also have the information.
It looks as though there are some restrictions, at the county level, on divulging the tax informaton, but the flood plain information should be readily available there.
The Seller Disclosure statement may indicate the zone and a local Insurance Company would also have the information.

Hi Penelope,
The best way to find if a property is in a flood zone is to simply call your insurance agent and ask. It cost nothing and he or she will probably have the information to you with in the hour. Sure you could look it up for yourself at the sights mentioned but the insurance agent is the one that will know for sure when you ready to choose to buy. Plus as an added bonus he or she will also tell you the cost of the flood insurance if needed as it will vary. This way you can make a more informed choice.
And thank you Deb (agent in my office) who found this quick method.
Hope this helps

Check with the city or county clerk's office or directly with FEMA. Keep in mind that properties are moved in and out of flood zones all the time. So, while it may not be in a mandatory flood zone now, FEMA could change this in the future.
FEMA has a website to search by address:

Hope this helps,
what is the best way to find out if a property is in a flood zone?
If you are near a creek or river, how can you find out a website for flood zone information?
