Flood elevation certificates are documents issued by surveyors that provide information about a property's elevation in relation to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
These certificates are typically required for properties located in flood-prone areas to determine flood insurance premiums and ensure compliance with floodplain management regulations.
They include details such as the property's elevation, flood zone designation, and information about the structure's flood risk.
