FEMA Elevation Certificates

Living in the Lowcountry, we know the threat of flooding all to well and, with that, understand the importance of protecting our financial investments with flood insurance.  Sometimes referred to as a Flood Certificate, an Elevation Certificate (EC – FEMA form 086-0-33) is an administrative tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) used to provide elevation information necessary to determine the proper insurance premium rate for your flood insurance policy. It also provides the necessary information to ensure your home is compliant with the community floodplain management ordinances.  If your house is located in a flood zone, a properly completed Elevation Certificate can significantly reduce your homeowner’s flood insurance premium and avoid the appeals process in the event a claim is ever denied. By utilizing the latest technology and finely tuned processes, Coastal Dimensions Land Surveying can provide you with an Elevation Certificate faster (typically the next day) and at a fraction of the price compared to larger Land Surveying firms.
