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 Southampton's numbers. Each one opens the full record.
Flood, Town-wide
Mapped Flood Zones Present
Parts of this town are inside mapped special flood hazard areas, where flood insurance is required for most mortgages and building is regulated. Whether a specific property is inside one is a parcel-level question, check the address, not the town.
1 federal flood-insurance claim has been filed from this town since 2007. 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.
- 4.5 MILE LONG GW CONTAMINATION PLUME · 80 PEQUOT RD · state file 1-0013737 (TIER1D)
Water at the Address
Public water systems in town: SOUTHAMPTON 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".
