@@skil101 many can be that were built before the first flood maps which are called pre-firm properties but typically if their post firm, they are above the base flood elevation unless the base flood elevation has changed, which does happen probably about every 5 to 10 years. you're the 50% role typically does not kick in until at least 50%of the market value was damaged by a flood or the property is it's called a severe repetitive lost property.
We typically recommend building 2 feet above the base flood elevation. This way if FEMA comes in and changes the maps which they do from time to time and they typically can change it by about a foot sometimes more than it still keeps you out of the required area, it keeps the premiums at a minimum for you, and it lowers the overall risk of flooding.
@@FloodInsuranceGuru Thank you, so if AE has the BFE and A does not then why are they both still in the 1% chance, or 100 year floodplain? And is AE still much better than A? or should it be avoided?

Are flood zone AE usually below bfe, dealing with possible 50% rule

Question, I have been trying to figure out the math for this elevation required 811.6 and build to elevation 811.79. how high about the 811.6 is it.

You might want to explain what base flood elevation is.

Yes its the flood level fema sets
Flood zones typically no longer impact flood insurance rates. Flood zone a typically has not had a study done
Is elevation required in flood zone A ?
@@FloodInsuranceGuru is this for all home purchases in flood zone A? No elevation certificate?
@@FloodInsuranceGuru what about if it's AE? Is elevation cert required?
No longer required as fema uses first floor height
