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.
