Terrain, Flood and Zoning Notes
The land is flat to gently rolling, drained by Mayfield Creek and smaller streams that have wet bottoms and floodplain in places. Drainage can limit building on low ground. Mayfield zones its 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 Mayfield. These official sources can also help with parcel research:
- Graves 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.
