FEMA Model Deed Restriction

Exhibit A is FEMA’s Model Deed Restrictions that support 44 C.F.R. Part 80 requirements. Applications requesting mitigation assistance to acquire properties for open space purposes must include a copy of the deed restriction language proposed to meet these requirements. The deed conveying the property to the locality must reference and incorporate Exhibit A (or equivalent name). Any variation from the model deed restriction can only be made with prior approval from FEMA’s Office of Chief Counsel. Such requests should be made to the FEMA Regional Administrator through the relevant State or Tribal Office. Exhibit A shall be attached to the deed when recorded.
