What is a Flood Plain Permit?
A Flood Plain Permit is a permit which is issued by the Stormwater Management Division to those who want to build a structure on property located within a 100-year flood plain. The Flood Plain Permit will ensure that the lowest floor elevation meets the requirements of the Flood Plain Ordinance which is one (1) foot above the 100-year flood elevation. How do I get a Flood Plain Permit and what is the cost? To apply for a Flood Plain Permit just fill out a Flood Plain Permit Application. Submit the completed Flood Plain Permit Application and a copy of the site plan to the Stormwater Management Division. The flood plain technician will process the permit and notify the applicant when it is completed (in most cases 3 working days). The cost for the Flood Plain Permit is $41.00. Flood Plain Permit Applications are available in the Stormwater Management Division. Can I check online and review if my property is located in a floodplain?
