Boone County is in Northern Kentucky on the Ohio River, across from the Cincinnati area, with Burlington as the county seat. Suburban growth is strongest in the north and east, while the southern and western parts keep farms, pasture and woods.
Communities in the county include Florence, Union, Walton, Hebron, Petersburg and Verona.
Land We Look At in Boone County
Development-edge acreage
Tracts near Florence, Union, Hebron and Walton that border subdivisions or main roads are often studied as future homesites.
Farm and pasture ground
Open fields toward Petersburg, Verona and the southern county have carried crops, hay and cattle.
Wooded and river-hill tracts
Hardwood slopes toward the Ohio River bring slope, access and floodplain questions into the review.

Terrain, Flood and Zoning Notes
Boone County is rolling to hilly, with the Ohio River along the northern and western edge and many creeks draining toward it. River and creek floodplain limits building in places, and slopes can affect building sites. Florence, Union and other cities zone their own land, and county rules apply elsewhere.
General information only. Confirm zoning and flood status for a specific parcel with the county.
County Resources
Property records in Kentucky come from two county offices: the county clerk, who records deeds, and the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), who handles assessments. Both can be reached through the county offices in Burlington. These official sources can also help with parcel research:
- Boone County government
- Kentucky Department of Revenue, Property Valuation (property tax and PVA information)
- USDA Web Soil Survey (soil maps for any parcel)
These are public government resources. We are not affiliated with them.
