Floodplain Map Changes
If you property is inadvertently included in the floodplain, you can submit a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to FEMA for the review of the floodplain designation of your property. Where property owners have taken actions such as filling a site or removing structures from a site that they believe should alter the floodplain boundaries or change the flood zone designation of their property, they can submit a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to FEMA.
