​​Elevation Certificates
​Friday, January 9, 2025, 8:00-9:50 a.m.

Elevation certificates are National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) forms used to verify compliance with regulations, rate insurance and support requests for letters of map change. This session will provide background on the NFIP and why these forms exist. We will go through the forms line by line and discuss how to fill them out. There will be special attention paid to building diagrams. Class will conclude with a brief description of how to use an elevation certificate to request a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA).
