SECTION 7: FLOODPLAINS

No new development in Summit County shall be permitted within any floodplain or floodway.  All floodplain regulations can be found in Chapter 4: Zoning Regulations/Overlay Districts of the Code and in the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations and guidelines.  In the event that there is a parcel that exists within a floodplain and development is proposed on that parcel, a Floodplain Development Permit will be obtained and work will be performed in accordance with §4110: Floodplain Development Permits of the Code.  If you are not sure whether your property is located in a floodplain, or if a floodplain is located on your property, please contact the Engineering Department to review the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) at the location of your property.
