Terrain, Flood and Zoning Notes
The county is rolling to hilly, with the Cumberland River and Lake Cumberland along the southern side. Land close to the lake can be affected by shoreline and floodplain rules, and steep slopes limit building in places. Somerset 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 Somerset. These official sources can also help with parcel research:
- Pulaski 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.
