Can I build in the floodplain?

Category: Uncategorized

Development is prohibited in the FEMA 100-year floodplain and the floodway, however, development is permitted in the 500-year floodplain.

In addition, development is not permitted with stream buffers. Stream buffers are determined by the size of the area it drains.
