Just last week, we received approval on two more FEMA LOMA (Letter of Map Amendment) applications. It took about 1 week for us to complete the field work and paper work and about 4-5 weeks from the submittal date to FEMA to obtain their approval. Both homes were "inadvertently" (as FEMA calls it) included in the 100-yr flood plain and in both cases home owners received a letter stating that they now needed flood insurance (costing an additional $1300 per year on top of the standard home owner's policy premium). In order to show that the structures were not actually within the limits of the 100yr flood plain, we processed a FEMA LOMA application and verified the elevation of the lowest level of each home was above the 100yr flood plain elevation. We were happy to assist and were pleasantly surprised with the reasonably quick turn around on FEMA's end of things.
If you have received a similar letter, please let us know and we'd be happy to process a FEMA LOMA on your behalf. info@altitudeeng.com or 720.413.9691
