Flood Elevation Certificates are documents that provide information regarding the elevation of a property in relation to the base flood elevation (BFE), which is set by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) (FEMA). To determine a property's level of flood risk and the associated insurance costs, mortgage lenders, insurance companies, and local authorities almost always need to see the certificates.
The certificates contain information such as the elevation of the property, the classification of the flood zone, and the characteristics of the structure, such as the kind of foundation and flood openings. Typically, a qualified surveyor or engineer will prepare the certificate by completing a survey of the property and collecting essential data, such as topographic maps and floodplain data. This will be done to prepare the certificate. A certificate is a vital tool for property owners to understand the flood risk associated with their properties and to take measures to protect their properties from the possibility of flood damage.
A flood elevation certificate helps clients to determine the precise location of their property in relationship to the base flood elevation.
If your property is located within a flood hazard zone as determined by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) you may be required to complete a flood elevation certificate in order to purchase flood insurance, as a part of the sale of the property or as a part of a new construction or remodeling process for a building.
An elevation certificate measures and records the elevations around a property and compares them to the floodplain elevations determined by FEMA. This process allows owners to demonstrate compliance with flood plain management ordinances and helps an insurance estimator or public officials determine the actual flood risk to a property.
