EC2

Elevation Certificates (EC) have multiple uses! They record information to help you determine compliance with local building codes and floodplain ordinances, support Letters of Map Change, and are required for Community Rating System (CRS) participation. The new Section H can also be used for owners to measure their own first floor height in any flood zone to see if it helps their flood insurance premium.
