FEMA Flood Zone Construction Requirements

FEMA Flood Insurance Rate increases may be postponed for several years. But their requirements for construction in flood zones are in full force. These requirements may be difficult to accommodate, but worse yet is effecting the repair or improvement and not adhering to the new requirements.

We are asked many questions every day:

  • What if I just want to repair my house? Must I still comply with the FEMA requirements?

  • Do I have to raise my house completely out of the flood zone?

  • What if I just do an addition to the existing house?

Yes, you can still improve your home. It's more important than ever to understand what restrictions you may encounter along the way.

Simply complete the short form --> and Get the FEMA Info.
