What Comes Back
The assessment and what it implies in tax, the lot, the year built and the zoning district, then the live checks against the Commonwealth's own maps: flood zone, wetlands, protected land and the state cleanup sites on record nearby. Anything a layer could not answer is listed as unchecked, never as clear.
The Town Around It
Whatever the address, these are Egremont's numbers. Each one opens the full record.
Flood, Town-wide
Mapped Flood Zones on the Older Map
This town has no current digital flood map, but the older FEMA paper map was digitised and it does show special flood hazard areas here. Treat it as a warning to check, not as a boundary: the paper map is less precise, carries no base flood elevations, and may be decades old. The town's floodplain administrator and the FEMA Map Service Center hold the answer for a specific address.
1 federal flood-insurance claim has been filed from this town since 2011. Counted by the claim's self-reported city, so this can undercount. History, not a prediction.

The Cleanup Registry
Reported releases of oil or hazardous material, from the state's public registry. Being listed means a release was reported, not that it remains: the status letters run from active cleanup to closed. An empty list is a registry fact, not a clean bill of environmental health.
- MAJORS HOUSE TANK B AREA · JUG END RD · state file 1-0010608 (TIER1D)
3 of the town's closed cleanups carry a recorded land-use restriction: the deed limits what the property may be used for. Each links to its state file above; ask for the restriction's text before buying one.
Water at the Address
Public water systems in town: EGREMONT WATER DEPT. Service areas have edges; an address outside them is on a well. No municipal sewer: septic systems, which state law has inspected at the time of sale. Bedrock well yield in town rates "average specific yield".
