We will research our records to determine if a permit has been issued, contact the property owner for more information or visit the construction site as necessary. State law prohibits the release of the name of a person who reports a violation. Flood insurance is available in all locations where the local government participates in the National Flood Insurance Program. Standard homeowners' policies do not cover flood damage. All property owners, whether they live in an identified floodplain or not, should consider the purchase of flood insurance.
Flood insurance is required for structures that are collateral for a federally insured mortgage.
Other federal, state or local programs may require the purchase of flood insurance. Your local building official should have a map that shows the identified floodplains in your community.
