FLOODPROOFING CERTIFICATE
FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES
The floodproofing of non-residential buildings may be permitted as an alternative to elevating to or above the Base Flood Elevation; however, a
floodproofing design certification is required. This form is to be used for that certification. Floodproofing of a residential building does not alter a
community’s floodplain management elevation requirements of affect the insurance rating unless the community has been issued an exception by
FEMA to allow floodproofed residential basements. The permitting of a floodproofed residential basement requires a separate certification specifying
that the design complies with the local floodplain management ordinance.

Building is floodproofed to an elevation of _____________ feet NGVD. (Elevation datum used must be the same as that on the FIRM)

premium.)

of construction are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting the following provisions:
The structure, together with attendant utilities and sanitary facilities, is watertight to the flood proofed design elevation indicated
above, with walls that are substantially impermeable to the passage of water.
All structural components are capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic flood forces, including the effects of buoyancy,
and anticipated debris impact forces.
