Elevation Certificates
Elevation Certificates are forms produced by FEMA used to rate a structure for flood insurance purposes. The City of Liberty requires all new development in the special flood hazard area/100-year floodplain (Flood Zone AE and Flood Zone A on the FIRM Map) to submit elevation certificates at two separate stages:
- Submitted with construction drawings
- Submitted once structure has finished construction
All new development in the special flood hazard area/100-year floodplain must be elevated to or above the base flood elevation (BFE).
Elevation Certificates should be submitted to the Community Development Department at 1829 Sam Houston, Liberty, TX 77575. For more information, please call 936-336-3684.
No-Rise Certificates
Any development in the “regulatory floodway” must be accompanied by a No-Rise certificate. The certificate must be submitted by the applicant and must be signed and sealed by a professional engineer.
Please call the Community Development Department at 936-336-3684 to determine if your property is located in a regulatory floodway. No-Rise certificates should be submitted to the Community Development Department at 1829 Sam Houston, Liberty, TX 77575.
