While there is general consensus new homes should not be built on flood plains that are still green, there is little agreement on how to increase flood resilience in areas where they have already been developed.
A flood proof house design must be elevated above the base flood elevation allowing water to pass through below the house to prevent hydrostatic pressure on the home. There cannot be any walls, electrical, or mechanical equipment within the flood elevation.
Examples include: restricts economic development as certain land uses are prohibited. if land cannot be used for building the current housing shortage will continue. through building elsewhere habitats may be lost.
You might ask: Why build on flood-prone land at all? The answer is money. Developers can charge a premium for homes near the water. And unbuilt land in the flood plain is cheaper and more abundant than land on higher ground.
Q: Can I build on property in a floodplain? A: Yes. However, floodplain development restrictions apply to grading, new construction and some renovations. Contact the Harris County Permit Office at (713) 956-3000 for more information on these requirements.
