NOTE: Documentation of a cost estimate from your contractor will be required if this project involves any reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation, structurally connected addition, or other improvement of an existing structure (including TIs and solar). Construction of separate builds/new structures does not require a cost estimate to be provided. Construction of new buildings require elevation one foot above the base flood elevation, which may require that the foundation of the building be raised as much as two feet above the existing elevation onsite. Storage buildings with no utilities may be wet floodproofed using flood vents. For all new construction buildings, two elevation certificates must be filled out by a registered land surveyor and submitted to the City, one before the foundation is poured and one after construction is completed.
