FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, requires elevation certificates in flood prone areas in order for the property owner to obtain government backed flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. An Elevation Certificate is prepared by a surveyor based on a field survey that the surveyor performs to obtain the data required on the form. Charles DeGraff Land Surveyor provides Elevation Certificate services for people in Lee and Charlotte County, Florida. Two copies of the certificate are included in our price and we will be happy to send a copy to your insurance agent at no additional charge.
