Radon potential, monitored air quality and current drought status for Wakulla County, Florida, from the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Radon potential

low radon potential
EPA predicts an average indoor level below 2 pCi/L, so the EPA still recommends testing, because elevated radon can occur anywhere.
Air quality (2024)
Median AQI 41Good
1 day at unhealthy for sensitive groups or worse.
90th percentile 55, peak 139 across 356 monitored days.
Drought status

Map of 13 October 2026.
Sources: EPA Map of Radon Zones (September 2025), EPA Air Quality Index (2024) and the U.S. Drought Monitor. A radon zone is a regional planning tool, not a prediction for any individual home — the EPA recommends testing every home regardless of zone. Air quality is shown only for counties that host an EPA monitor. Drought figures describe one weekly map, not a long-term climate average. Compare counties in Florida.

Property records and tax maps in Wakulla County
Most people who look up Wakulla County GIS data are after parcel-level records: who owns a property, what it last sold for, and what it is assessed at. Those records are kept locally, not federally, so they are not part of this map. Wakulla County property and tax map data lives with the county's own records office, and what that office is called varies by state — Texas counties run an appraisal district (usually searched as a “CAD”), Kentucky uses a Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), and most other states use a county assessor, auditor or tax office. Start with that office for a deed, a tax map number or a parcel boundary; use the map above for flood zones, elevation and land cover on the same land.
