Finalized Flood Map Changes
You may be affected if you own property or run a business in a community listed in the finalized Letter of Map Revisions (LOMRs). The LOMRs change Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways and revise Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and sometimes Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports, so you should check whether your flood insurance or building plans need updating.
