Has anyone gone through the process of having an Elevation Certificate completed and it reduce the premium on a Flood Insurance Policy? I was told yesterday by an insurance agent it may or may not make much of a difference.

Does anyone on here issue Elevation Certificates or know someone that does in the Marengo County area?

I had this done just a few years back but in Elmore County. Out of nowhere my mortgage holder told me that i was required to have flood insurance as FEMA had "redrawn" the flood zones and i was now in one requiring flood insurance. Funny that this "redrawing" closely followed a lot of FEMA natural disaster payouts. Anyway, contacted a local well respected surveyor. He started chuckling before i could finish telling him why i was calling. He just said they were crazy and that he could handle it. Came out, shot a few grades and wrote me the exclusion certificate. Worth the few $$$ to not have to carry unneeded flood insurance.

Did you submit this to FEMA to have the lines redrawn or your property excluded? Or did the lender accept this and drop the requirement for flood insurance?

Trying to remember but i think i had to send something to FEMA to get the actual "exclusion". I don't know that they actually redraw the lines but issue the exclusion for structures falling above the flood grade as documented by the surveyor. Would need to look back at my papers to remember the exact procedure. I do remember FEMA taking their time to review

looks like FEMA issued me a LOMA (Letter of Map Amendment) which i guess does actually redraw the line to an extent. My LOMA just effectively removed my home from the flood zone

The LOMA is the way to go. Just don't get in a hurry as FEMA will really drag their feet. I just finished 1 in Huntsville that was originally submitted 2 years ago.

We had a problem on a good bit of land the we own. It put it in a floodplain and we were going to loose many acres in development. It was a long hard battle but we eventually got the lines redrawn. Probably took a year.

I also had the same problem at my lake house on Logan Martin. Just all of a sudden it was in the floodplain. If my house would have flooded the water would have actually gone over the dam. It eventually got straightened out. Policy was like $200 a year, so in the scheme of things it was just cheaper to pay it. But FEMA actually fixed it.

Im startin the process in huntsville. I paid 380 for shots on a flood certificate. Now im bout to contact fema to take my home out of flood zobe cause it shot above a 576 elevation. They wanted 120 a month for flood insurance. Now its 60 a month til i get it taken off from fema.....which costs another $400 bucks!!! What a rip off. The way the country has set up a residential home purchase is a dang rip off for the buyer. Home appraisal fees, thousands for closing costs, fliod certificate and so on. Its all a scam to charge the workin man it seems

I’m looking for any assistance I can get. I’ve been referred to one person in the area that I was told charges $500. I am not sure if that is reasonable or unreasonable bc I have no idea what this process entails, I just see the form requires a certification of a surveyor or architecture.

I have no idea what is officially required for a certificate to be legit, but I am more than willing to write one. $500 sounds great, I was going to do it for free since I have no experience or knowledge in this field.

If you are trying to prove that you are not in a special flood hazard area you will need a survey.. You can go to FEMA website and look up the FIRM map and see what zone you are in..
