New Flood Maps Take Effect Wednesday

If you have property previously considered to be in the flood plain, you may want to check your status.  Revised flood maps that take effect Wednesday will reclassify thousands of parcels, saving property owners thousands on annual flood insurance costs.

 

Presiding County Commissioner Greg Hasty says if you haven’t been contacted by FEMA, and your property was on the borderline, you should contact FEMA directly to see if you’re affected by the new maps.
