Elevation Certificates
Elevation Certificates are an important tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The certificate application is prepared by a professional land surveyor, who provides elevation information necessary for FEMA to make a review of the flood zone base elevation, which will help ensure compliance with community floodplain management ordinances, to determine the proper insurance premium rate, and to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision based on fill (LOMR-F). See FEMA’s website for additional information. |
Easements
Easements give an individual or company a right to use or engage in some limited or restrictive activity over land that is owned by someone else. Surveyors describe the extents of these rights in relation to property lines by a metes and bounds description. |
