Flood Elevation Certificate

A flood elevation certificate is an official document that shows the elevation of a building in relation to the base flood elevation for a particular area. It is used to determine the risk of flooding and the cost of flood insurance for a property. Lenders, insurance companies, and government agencies may require a flood elevation certificate to assess the potential risk of flood damage and to determine appropriate insurance premiums. It provides important information about the property’s flood risk and can help property owners make informed decisions about flood insurance and flood risk mitigation measures.
