What is a Flood Elevation Certificate?

Pittsburgh is famous for floods, but some properties are in higher risk areas than others. Properties in high flood risk areas are usually required to have a flood elevation certificate for approval of homeowners or flood insurance. This certificate could also impact the cost of insurance premiums.

A flood elevation certificate shows detailed information about a property, including its elevation, location, and proximity to flood zones. It shows insurance providers a property’s flood risk and the elevation of the building’s lowest floor.
