Insurance

I am not a surveyor, if you need an Elevation Certificate, please contact one.

Structures built in a Special Flood Hazard Area – including A, AE, and AH zones – or a Coastal High Hazard Area – including VE zones – when constructed were required to have a FEMA Elevation Certificate to prove that the structure met the required Base Flood Elevation. A FEMA Elevation Certificate is required during construction before the first permanent horizontal member is placed. A final construction Elevation Certificate is also required. The Elevation Certificate is also required for new flood insurance policies from the National Flood Insurance Program. Elevation Certificates can be prepared by local, licensed surveyors. An older home where the owner paid cash may not have an Elevation Certificate and you will need to pay to have one done. The Elevation Certificate is used when purchasing a flood insurance policy to receive any discounts.
