FEMA FLOOD MAPS

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have issued new flood maps for Monroe County, effective 8/19/2025.  These maps will replace the current maps which became effective in 2003.  The link listed below will take you to a FEMA GIS map where you can view the new maps.    As a reminder, any work or project proposed in the mapped FEMA floodplain may need a permit prior to doing the work.   

Please contact Building and Zoning with any questions regarding the permitting process when dealing with a mapped FEMA floodplain.
