What matters for project planning
The drainage record is the useful one after an event, because it helps settle the question an insurer asks first. Standard homeowner policies exclude flood, which is insured separately, so whether water arrived across the ground or from a failure inside the building decides which coverage responds -- and the city's stormwater information is documentary evidence rather than opinion. Historic designation matters later, if repairs reach visible exterior fabric on a designated property. Establish and photograph the source before anything is moved.
Official sources
Verify the property, not just the city
Citywide context cannot establish a parcel’s flood zone, historic designation, stream buffer, permit requirements, soil conditions, or concealed construction. Before authorizing work in Fayetteville, confirm the parcel's flood zone, historic status, and permit requirements with the relevant local authority.
