From the FEMA Flood Plain maps, virtually every TEIR 1 property at Lake Lotawana has at least a small portion of the property that is in the FEMA flood plain. For the most part this is the few feet at the lake edge, and the residence is not in the “flood plain”. However since the small portion at the water’s edge is in the “flood plain” FEMA considers the property as a whole in the “flood plain”. Thus flood insurance may be required by the lender.
We have made an agreement with a local surveyor to survey the property (i.e. the residence) and submit a certification request to FEMA to certify that the residence is NOT in the flood plain, thus relieving the flood plain insurance requirement for the residence. The total time to process the request can take from 2 to 8 weeks to obtain the survey, to process the request form and for FEMA to respond.
