Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the V zone?

FEMA updates the EC form every few years with changes that are necessitated by new regulations or requirements. Complete and correct Elevation Certificates already completed for a structure do not expire unless there is a physical change to the building that invalidates previously certified information.

What is an AV zone design certificate?

National Flood Insurance Progam (NFIP) regulations require coastal communities to ensure that buildings built in V Zones are anchored to resist wind and water loads acting simultaneously. Buildings in V Zones are subject to a greater hazard than buildings built in other types of floodplains.

How long is a flood elevation certificate good for?

Zone determinations are typically provided for free to property owners, as they are essential for assessing flood risk and determining insurance coverage. On the other hand, elevation certificates are prepared by surveyors and may incur a cost for property owners.
