The Engineering Department assists the public in determining if a parcel is located in the Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year floodplain). This information is provided as a service to the public and is only for insurance rating purposes.
All planning, construction plans, and construction must be based upon a current Elevation Certificate prepared by a professional land surveyor or professional engineer licensed in the State of Alabama.
