Flood Zone Frequently Asked Questions:
Check out the information about an Elevation Certificate. City staff recommended getting one of these if you’d like to possibly reduce your flood insurance costs. You actual floor elevation is identified by this certificate and based on the height, you may qualify for a lower premium. Check with your insurance company before getting the certificate.
