FEMA Elevation Certificates

FEMA Elevation CertificatesAre you in need of an inexpensive elevation certificate in southwest FL?  If you recently purchased a house or are planning an addition or remodel of your home worth more than 50% of the appraised value of your home, and your house is located within a FEMA flood risk zone as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) then you are.  Elevation Certificates are required to acquire flood insurance, which is required by law for all structures built in a flood zone after January 1, 1975.  The document certifies the elevation of the lowest part of your house in relation to the Base Flood Elevation of that area.  The certificate itself is revised periodically and the current version is set to expire on March 31st, 2012.  We have been preparing elevation certificates in the Sarasota and Venice, Florida area for over 25 years.  We constantly keep ourselves updated on the current changes and requirements so we can better serve you!
