Floodplain
As a public service, the County of Gem will provide you with the following information upon request:
Whether a property is in or out of the Flood Hazard Area (FHA) as shown on the current Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) of the County.
Additional flood insurance data for a site, such as the FIRM zone and the base flood elevation or depth, if shown on the FIRM.
We have a handout on the flood insurance purchase requirement that can help people who need a mortgage or loan for a property in the SFHA.
The County of Gem maintains elevation certificates for review.
The County of Gem updates the Flood Insurance Rate Maps as needed when revisions are made to the maps.
