FLOOD ELEVATION CERTIFICATES
The Elevation Certificate is an important administrative tool of the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). As part of the agreement for making flood insurance
available in a community, the NFIP requires a community to adopt floodplain
management regulations that specify minimum requirements for reducing flood
losses. One such requirement is for the community to obtain the elevation of the
lowest floor of all new and substantially improved buildings, and maintain a record
of such information. The Elevation Certificate provides a way to document
compliance with floodplain management regulations and ensures proper insurance
premiums for property owners when purchasing flood insurance.
In order to avoid delays in issuance of your Certificate of Occupancy, please
ensure that every line in Sections A through D on the Finished Construction
Elevation Certificates is completely filled out or marked as N/A and that Building
Photographs have been provided. In addition, if Flood Zone AO or A (without
Base Flood Elevation) is indicated in Section B, Sections E and F must be
completely filled out. Incomplete Finished Construction Elevation Certificates
will not be accepted.
