Properties near Tampa Bay, Old Tampa Bay, and Hillsborough Bay may be in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas. Flood zone designation — AE, VE, or X — must appear on site plans for affected properties. The massive 2024 hurricane season highlighted how critical accurate FEMA notation is for Tampa Bay properties.
We verify your flood zone at msc.fema.gov before drafting. Zone AE: Finished Floor Elevation must meet or exceed BFE + 1 ft freeboard. Zone VE (coastal): open foundation required, PE stamp required. FEMA designation and FIRM panel number labeled on all applicable plans.
Hillsborough County requires drainage flow arrows, existing and finished grades at lot corners, and either a subdivision Lot Grading Plan match, PE-stamped grading plan, or No-Fill Attestation for many projects.
