General FEMA Elevation Certificate Information

An Elevation Certificate compares a property’s elevation data to the Base Flood elevation data. A licensed Surveyor or Engineer makes actual field measurements using survey instruments and techniques to obtain the property’s elevation data and then transfers that data to the Certificate which is an official form of the National Flood Insurance Program.

All of us saw the catastrophic results of hurricane Katrina in 2005. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) says; “Floods are one of the most common hazards in the United States.” Anyone who owns a home in or near an area prone to flooding should ask the question “Is my home at risk for flooding?” Most homeowners want the piece of mind that comes from the certainty of knowing they are appropriately insured. At the same time, no one wants their insurance company to err on the side of caution and charge a large premium for flood insurance when they do not need it. Elevation Certificates are used to rate your buildings.

The FEMA Elevation Certificate is an important administrative tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It is to be used to provide information necessary to ensure compliance with community floodplain management ordnances, to determine the proper insurance premium rate, and to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision based on Fill (LOMR-F).

Advanced Surveys, Inc. uses the latest survey equipment and software to do an actual field survey to determine your building elevations. The certificate is completed under the supervision of a Registered Professional who certifies the Elevation Certificate. Don’t wait, contact us today!
