Baxter County, Arkansas property research

Official Arkansas GIS snapshot retrieved September 23, 2026. Source CAMA date March 6, 2026 and publication date April 1, 2026 are retained as original epoch-millisecond values. No assessment fiscal year or owner verification is asserted. Snapshot parcel_id is not a persistent cross-vintage ID; original parcel, county-parcel and CAMA keys are retained.

These are dated research files, curated from public source facts. Ownership is an assessor entry, not verified legal title or a statement that a property is for sale. Source and import dates differ; September 2026 enrichment does not refresh the underlying assessment or ownership record.

GEOGRAPHY: Every retained valid parcel's representative point is tested against the official Census ACS 2024 county boundary with a 100-meter boundary tolerance. Valid source geometry is preserved. Where explicitly documented in GEOMETRY RECOVERY below, exact duplicate rings may be removed with the original geometry retained as evidence. Unrecoverable geometry receives null analytical results. Parcel record count describes the imported selection, not a guarantee of all current parcels. Distinct identifiers are retained even when geometries overlap (for example condominium interests).

FLOOD: Full valid parcel polygons intersect official FEMA NFHL flood-hazard polygons. Union areas avoid double counting; intersections smaller than one square meter are omitted. Percentages use the full parcel area as denominator, with coverage recorded separately. Special Flood Hazard Area means SFHA_TF=T. Coverage below 99.9% leaves an unknown remainder, not a negative flood finding. Zone X and zero mapped SFHA do not certify freedom from flooding. This is screening data, not a flood certificate, survey, insurance recommendation or engineering opinion.

SCHOOLS: NCES 2024-25 physical active public-school points and Census ACS 2024 unified-school districts. Nearest school is shortest parcel-to-point straight-line distance among retrieved physical schools in the state. It does not determine attendance eligibility, walking distance or school quality. Verify enrollment with the district.

ZONING: Where present, zoning is copied from an original assessor attribute. No contemporary zoning-polygon overlay or permitted-use verification is performed for this pack. Blank means unavailable. Land use is the original tax classification, not a permitted-use conclusion. Utility service/capacity, development approval, road access, title and survey boundaries are not established by these files.

DATA HANDLING: Zero remains distinct from missing. Blank, UNKNOWN and punctuation-only address placeholders become null. Original source field names and dates are documented. Texas date_acq is acquisition date, NEVER treated as sale date. Invalid source parcel geometry is not silently repaired; invalid overlay geometries may be repaired for intersection and counts are documented. Owner names and public tax mailing addresses only; no personal phone/email enrichment or demographic profiling.

USAGE: Paid curation of nonexclusive public facts; internal business and client work are allowed. Attribution is retained. LandSight claims no exclusive rights to government facts. Seven-day correction/refund policy if delivered files fail their stated scope: dakota@landsightsolutions.com.

ARKANSAS FIELD MEANINGS AND GAPS: SourceRef and SourceDate describe the geometry source reference; they are NOT a sale, deed or ownership date. CAMAdate and PubDate are separately retained in source_cama_date_ms and source_publication_date_ms. TaxArea is retained as source_lot_size, but its units are not defined in the source metadata; source_lot_units is null, and it must not be interpreted as acres. computed_screen_acres is a separate calculated polygon area. AssessValue is the amount on the assessment roll; LandValue, ImpValue and TotalValue are preserved separately as source_* fields without inferring their assessment basis, market value, sale price or appreciation. No tax mailing address, sale date/price, assessment fiscal year, building characteristics or zoning permissions were supplied. Missing fields remain null. Source parcel type is not reclassified as property use. State metadata warns county completeness and parcel topology are not guaranteed and the data are not survey, legal or engineering boundaries.
ORIGINAL SOURCE: The complete official parcel response is retained as original-parcel-source.json.gz, byte-identical to the acquired snapshot, along with source-metadata.xml and acquisition-provenance.json. All 39 source attributes and original geometries remain available, including attributes not normalized into the research table. Per-record geometry validity and analytical unknowns are explicit.

Projection for measured areas/distances: EPSG:26915
SOURCE-LOCATION EXCEPTIONS: One original source record is retained separately with all original attributes and geometry because its representative point falls outside the independently checked county boundary plus 100 metres. No corrected county assignment is inferred. The main research table excludes that record; the complete original source archive still includes it.


NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY SCREENING
Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wetlands Inventory, national public REST services, retrieved 2026-09-23T20:43:14.943548+00:00. Imagery years vary and are retained per parcel; the download release or retrieval date is NOT the imagery date. NWI maps wetland and deepwater habitat using biological definitions. Mapping does not establish regulatory jurisdiction or show every wetland. No mapped overlap is not a certification that wetlands are absent.
Full valid parcel polygons are intersected with NWI polygons in their native equal-area EPSG:5070 projection. Overlap uses the union of intersections of at least one square metre. Original parcel geometry and all prior fields are preserved. Invalid parcel geometry remains analytically unknown. Project coverage is limited to the reconciled county query extent. Parcels extending beyond the retrieval extent are marked unknown.
nwi-evidence.ndjson retains matched NWI identifiers, codes, types and parcel overlap shares. nwi_project_coverage_pct measures retrieved digital project footprint coverage, not the accuracy or completeness of real-world wetlands. nwi_imagery_years describes the mapped project imagery and can be old. Partial mapping is explicitly flagged.
Mapped area outside SFHA counts only the FEMA-mapped portion outside SFHA. It is NOT buildable acreage and does not subtract NWI wetlands, setbacks, access constraints, easements or other restrictions. Open parcel-screening.html locally to filter the CSV without uploading it.

Evidence record_id refers to the original CSV parcel_id. No parcel identifiers or original values were replaced.

ACQUISITION NOTE CLARIFICATION: SourceDate describes the geometry source reference, not a deed or sale date. The acquisition-provenance scope wording is corrected accordingly. The original captured response archive is preserved unchanged for reproducibility; its embedded shorthand does not override the official source-metadata field definitions. No property value, geometry, date value or screening result changed.
