Know Flood Map Service

Map Location Service


 

Knowing your flood zone and flood risk is now as easy as entering an address.  The Know Flood Map Service has the entire nation’s digital flood maps online. Simply enter your address in the search bar, and the map pins your building’s location. A box then pops up to introduce you to one of our services. The map search is free and gives you the basic information necessary to assess your flood risk, flood zone, and insurance needs.

“Know Flood Zone” Determination

Flood Zone Determination


 

While reading a flood map can help guide you on what your flood risk is, a flood zone determination is the only official way to know what flood zone you are in. This establishes your requirement to carry flood insurance and your insurance rate. The Know Flood Zone Determination is a guaranteed product, which means the accuracy is guaranteed. This is the same tool lenders use to decide if you are “in or out” of the high risk flood zone. You will need a determination of your own to challenge a lenders determination.

Along with our guaranteed determination comes the “Massive” report, which is one of the most comprehensive flood information reports available. It shows a map of your property, tells you the next closest flood zone, estimated ground elevation and more. All included in the price of the zone determination.

This is an ideal tool for real estate professionals looking to inform potential sellers and buyers.

“Know Flood Removal” LOMA*

Letter Of Map Amendment


 

If the lowest grade of your land is above the flood elevation printed on the flood map, your building may be able to be removed from the requirement of having flood insurance. The Letter Of Map Amendment (LOMA) is the easiest way to remove the building from the “A” or “V” zone if it qualifies. The Know Flood Removal is an expedited process and in most cases can be completed in 30 days. To start, you’ll need an elevation certificate. Then we review and verify that you are eligible. If you submit your LOMA request and are denied, there is no cost! Our technical specialists are here to help and guide you along the way.

*An individual may visit hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/onlinelomc/signin and apply for a LOMA on their own, free of charge.  Our service completes this process for you and is expedited.
