NFIP Policy Index

Definition/Description

Any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations or storage of equipment or materials. A community without a FIRM or FHBM must require a permit for all proposed construction or other development in the community, so that it can determine whether the construction or other development is proposed within a flood-prone area. Once a FIRM or FHBM has been issue for the community, it must require permits within the designated SFHA.
