Yes, there are many houses in Douglas County that were built on a flood plain. There was a huge flood in 1962 that is the benchmark for the 100-year flood. The lowest habitable floor of your house has to be a foot above the 100-year flood mark, or your federal flood insurance will be VERY expensive. If the owner has done a flood certification, it will be on file at the county or city planning offices, depending on the location.
