How do you determine the elevation of a design flood?

In areas designated as Zone AO on a communitys flood map, the DFE is the elevation of the highest existing grade of a buildings perimeter plus the depth number specified on the flood hazard map. In areas designated as Zone AO where a depth is not specified on the map, the depth is two feet.

Is an elevation certificate required in Florida?
