Why does LandSafe say my property is in a flood zone when the Realtor, appraiser, developer, city and county show it is not in a flood zone?
County entities and developers know their areas well, and they know when additional flood control work has been completed. However, until this work is filed and approved by FEMA through a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) or the updating of a map, it will not affect the flood determination. To obtain flood information, most appraisers consult their local flood authority which might clear the lot based on local information. Again, until changes to an area are updated by FEMA, the flood determination results may not change.
