Call 985.783.5060 for a floodplain manager if you have questions about flood risk, flood insurance, flood insurance rate maps, or how these affect the minimum building elevation for new construction or substantial improvement to existing buildings.

Staff can advise whether a property is or is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area and if so which flood zone and what the base flood elevation is.
