It outlines the purpose and requirements for obtaining an Elevation Certificate, which is essential for determining flood insurance premium rates and ensuring compliance with community floodplain management regulations. The certificate collects elevation data necessary for buildings in designated Special Flood Hazard Areas and supports requests for Letters of Map Amendment or Revision. It includes sections for property information, building elevation details, certifications by surveyors or engineers, and community information.

Is an elevation certificate required in Florida?

Structures built in a Special Flood Hazard Area must have a FEMA Elevation Certificate. This includes A, AE, AH, AO and Coastal High Hazard Areas known as VE or V zones. Structures in an X or D zone are not in the Special Flood Hazard Area, and an Elevation Certificate is not required.

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.
