What is a Flood Zone Determination?
Simply, a Flood Zone Determination states which flood zone applies to a property. Or put another way, it is ‘determined’ that your property is in a specific flood zone. The Determinator, which is the company providing the Flood Zone Determination, will use FEMA’s flood maps, the county’s parcel maps, aerial photography, and other maps to figure out which flood zone is applicable to the property.
