Can you change a floodplain?

Changing your flood zone is possible through a FEMA Letters of Map Change (LMOC) form, but only in instances where your property was misidentified or there have been changes in the propertys location or elevation.

What is the difference between a flood zone and a floodway?

Layman terms: The floodplain shows how far out of the banks a watercourse would get during the 1% flood. Floodway: The channel of a river or watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be maintained in order to discharge floodwaters.

Can you build in a floodway in Wisconsin?

prohibition of residential, commercial or industrial structures in the floodway; lowest floor elevated on fill two feet or more above the regional flood elevation (basement floor can be at regional flood elevation);

What is a regulated floodway?

A Regulatory Floodway means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated height.

Can you build within a floodway?

The floodway is the most dangerous part of the floodplain. Development is not allowed unless no rise in flood levels is certified. No rise means no increase in flood elevations greater than 0.00 feet. Essentially, when it comes to flood level rise, zero means zero.

Is my property in a floodway?

A good way to figure that out is on a FEMA flood map. The map shows each communitys risk of flooding, including specific flood zones and their boundaries. Simply enter your address on the flood map to pull up a record of your area.
