The flood zone classification for this property was changed in 2020 from “AE” (high risk) to “X” (minimal
flood hazard) and thus we are no longer required to carry flood insurance as a condition of our home
loan. FEMA Elevation Certificate is attached.
Since purchasing the property in 2002, the ground level has been raised. We brought in over 140 yards
of soil and compost so that the land was tillable. The soil has settled and is responsible for the elevations
that can be seen in the attached photo. 2”x6” treated wood boards are set end to end inside the fence
perimeter to retain the raised border as well as to allow our dogs a running path. As a side effect, the
raised elevation protects against any flooding incident that may occur.
Site plan below shows flood hazard boundary. Estimated distance from structure to flood boundary is
18’ minimum and 45’ maximum.
