Is Dakota in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Dakota appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Dakota, city of, community 270526, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Dakota figures?
No, and they are labeled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Dakota.
Is zoning published for Dakota?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
