The City of Pflugerville participates in The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Elevation certificates and related building information are available for public inspection and flood insurance rating.
An Elevation Certificate is a certificate issued by a professional surveyor or civil engineer which declares the elevation of the finished floor of a structure. In many cases, the scaling of a FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) shows a particular building to be within or close to a floodplain and possibly requiring flood insurance. An Elevation Certificate can be used to show that the building definitely is or is not within the floodplain. It is normally used by FEMA and the NFIP to determine compliance with community floodplain regulations, set insurance rates, and can be used to support a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA).
