What Is an Elevation Certificate?
An Elevation Certificate is an official document prepared by a licensed land surveyor that measures your property’s elevation in relation to FEMA-designated flood zones.
It is often required for:
- Flood insurance policies
- Buying or selling property
- New construction or major renovations
- Permitting and compliance with local regulations
This certificate provides the data needed to accurately assess flood risk.
How Elevation Certificates Can Save You Money
An Elevation Certificate can directly impact your flood insurance costs.
If your home or structure is shown to be above the base flood elevation, you may:
- Qualify for lower flood insurance premiums
- Reduce required coverage levels
- Potentially eliminate the need for flood insurance altogether (with LOMA approval)
This makes an elevation certificate a valuable investment for property owners in flood-prone areas.

What Is a LOMA (Letter of Map Amendment)?
A LOMA is an official determination from FEMA that removes a property or structure from a designated flood hazard zone.
If approved, a LOMA can:
- Remove mandatory flood insurance requirements
- Lower overall insurance costs
- Update your property’s flood zone classification
LOMAs are often supported by elevation certificate data.
