If your lot lies within the Floodway, building is typically prohibited.
If you are building in the Floodplain, your plans will require review by a Floodplain Manager. You will need to submit a Floodplain Management Application and a valid Elevation Certificate. The fee for Floodplain Review is $332.00.
Debris Removal in the Floodplain will also require Floodplain review. This will require a Floodplain Management Application and a site map clearly showing:

Change Your Flood Zone Designation
If you believe your property was incorrectly identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), you may submit an application to FEMA for a formal determination of the property's location and/or elevation relative to the SFHA. This is called a Letter of Map Change (LOMC) request.
