Appendix 1602. Development within flood zones.
Latest version.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) governs development within flood zones with the use of federal insurance rate maps (FIRM). Four flood zones have been designated: "V", "A", "B", and "C" zones. Any development with the "V" and "A" zones must meet the minimum height requirement as per the FIRM maps. Should a property owner not agree with the FIRM map, an appeal may be made to FEMA.
