Map Change - Change Your Flood Zone Designation
Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs) are based on the best hydrologic, hydraulic, topographic, and engineering modeling available at the time of creating the maps. However, no map is perfect, and no flooding situation is static. If a property owner believes that their property is mapped incorrectly, they have the opportunity to retain the services of an Arizona-licensed civil engineer or land surveyor to produce technical data and undertake the necessary engineering analysis to prove their case. The supporting data is attached to an application for a “Letter of Map Change” (LOMC). Letter of Map Change (LOMC) is a general term used to refer to the several types of revisions and amendments to FEMA maps that can be accomplished by letter. They include Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA), Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), and Letter of Map Revision based on Fill (LOMR-F).

Base Level Engineering (BLE) is an automated riverine hydrologic and hydraulic modeling approach that builds on lessons learned to produce a base line understanding of a community’s flood risk.
