An elevation certificate is a form that a surveyor or engineer completes on behalf of the property owner to verify the height of the first floor of a new building built in the 100-year floodplain. It is submitted to the Zoning Administrator for review and approval.

The Zoning Administrator is authorized to make various decisions which are administrative in nature. All such decisions can be appealed to the Board of Appeals. Details about the procedures and other details are posted HERE. An appeal must be made soon after the decision.
