FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate
An elevation certificate is an official document of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a program administered by FEMA which enables certain property owners to purchase flood insurance. An elevation survey for a Flood Elevation Certificate provides verification of the elevation data of a structure and the Base Flood Elevation (established on FEMA maps) on a given property relative to the ground level. This information is used in the flood insurance rating process and could lower insurance costs.
According to the official FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate, “The Elevation Certificate is to be completed by a land surveyor, engineer, or architect who is authorized by law to certify elevation information when elevation information is required…”
