After a long process, FEMA is now working to finalize our Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS). Therefore, we are now utilizing these as the best available data. A Letter of Final Determination was issued by FEMA on February 15, 2019, and the new FIRM and FIS will become effective as of August 15, 2019. Feel free to contact the Community Development office with any questions.  

The following link provides a GIS map of the changes.
