What does it mean if LandSafe Flood determines that my lot is partially within a SFHA?
A partial flood zone is indicated on flood determination as an asterisk next to the zone that begins with either an A or V. This means that part of the parcel of land that the structure sits on is inundated by the SFHA, according to the Flood Insurance Rate Map. However, the house itself may or may not be affected. LandSafe Flood may complete a re-determination if the borrower can provide a survey that pinpoints the boundaries of the structure. If a survey is not available, LandSafe will accept a “Box in Method” of determining the location of the structure. This method is inexpensive and can be completed by the homeowner with a simple measuring device.
