Lexington Property Lookup: City Records for Any Address
Enter a Lexington address to see the public records the city keeps about that property and the city services that reach it: flood zone, zoning district, council district, waste collection day, recent code enforcement cases, and the parcel record.
Every line comes from a named Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government dataset and is labeled with the source and the date that source carries.
This page does not rate or compare areas. It reports what the government has on record for the one address you enter, and it shows nothing about the people who live at or near it.
Where this data comes from
Address. The LFUCG Address Point layer is the city's own record of every address in Fayette County. The lookup matches an exact address there first, and the coordinates it returns are what every other record on this page is measured against.
Flood zone. The LFUCG Flood Hazard Zones layer republishes FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas. It maps those areas only, so an address outside one returns no zone rather than a different zone.
Zoning. The LFUCG Zoning layer carries the zoning district code for each mapped area. What a district permits is set by the Zoning Ordinance, which this page does not reproduce.
Council district. Boundaries come from the LFUCG Council District layer. Member names and contact details come from the roster maintained on this site and re-verified after each election, because the GIS layer's own phone numbers have been found to be stale.
Waste collection day. The LFUCG Waste Management Area layer supplies the collection areas, and the day is derived from the area an address falls in.
Code enforcement. The LFUCG Citizen Requests Code Enforcement layer is a rolling window of recent requests, roughly the last 90 days, refreshed daily. Cases are matched to the exact address looked up, never to a radius around it.
Parcel. The LFUCG Parcel layer supplies the PVA parcel number and mapped acreage. Parcel geometry is not survey quality.
What this page does not show
Owner, assessed value, and sale history. The parcel layer carries a parcel number and acreage and nothing else. Ownership and assessment records are kept by the Fayette County Property Valuation Administrator, not in this dataset.
Building permits. The city does not publish permit data as open data, so there is no permit history here and nothing to link to. Filling that section would take an open records request, which is the plan for a later version of this page.
Assigned schools. Attendance boundaries are not published as an open data layer, and assignments change with rezoning, so no school is named. The FCPS SchoolSite Locator is the place to check.
Crime by address. This page reports no crime data for an address. A per-address crime figure invites comparing one address to another, and this site does not rate or compare areas. Citywide crime data is on the Lexington crime map, reported at the city level with the reporting limits explained.

Frequently asked questions
What does flood zone AE mean?
Zone AE is a Special Flood Hazard Area with a base flood elevation determined, meaning FEMA maps it as having a one percent chance of flooding in any given year. Zone A is the same one percent area where no base flood elevation has been determined. The city layer maps these areas only, so an address that returns nothing is outside a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area rather than assigned some other zone. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps are the authoritative documents, and a lender or insurer may require a formal flood determination.
Does a code enforcement case mean a violation was found?
No. A record in this layer is a citizen request or inspection entry, which means someone asked the city to look at the property. The layer carries no status field and no outcome field, so it cannot say whether a case was substantiated, dismissed, or closed. Treat it as a record that the city was contacted, not as a finding against the property.
Why might an address not be found?
The city address layer covers Fayette County only, so an address in another county returns nothing. Within the county, a new address may not be in the layer yet, and a unit number may need to be entered the way the city stores it. If the exact address is not matched, the lookup geocodes the address and snaps to the nearest city address point within 30 meters rather than guessing.
Does this page rate an area?
No. This page reports what the city has on record for one address and nothing else. It does not score, rank, or grade an address, and it does not compare one address or area to another. Records like a flood zone or a zoning district describe the property itself, and presenting them as a judgment about a place, or about the people in it, is not something this site does.
How often does this data update?
Each layer is published by LFUCG on its own schedule and this page reads them live, caching each answer for 24 hours. The code enforcement layer is a rolling window covering roughly the last 90 days, so it changes daily and older cases drop off it. Zoning, parcel, and address records change as the city edits them. Flood zones change only when FEMA revises a Flood Insurance Rate Map.
Property records on this page are derived from Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government open data, used under the LFUCG data hub terms of use at data.lexingtonky.gov/pages/terms-of-use. The data is provided as-is.
