Common questions
What is an elevation certificate?
It's a FEMA form, completed by a licensed surveyor, that records the elevation of your building compared with the expected flood level for your area.
Why would I need one?
Insurance agents use it to rate flood insurance, and it's often needed to ask FEMA to remove a building from a flood zone or to get a permit for work in a flood zone.
