I have had a couple of deals where the new buyer's mortgage company required that. You need to hire and engineer / surveyor to do that for you. Basically they will come and shoot the elevation of the lowest part of your home. They will use that data to file for an exemption from FEMA. They have a expedited venue to do that so that is why we use pros to get past a real estate closing deadline. It will probably cost you several hundred bucks but, as FEMA says, isn't that better than paying flood insurance?

It's completely ridiculous, since most homes are above the top of the dam's elevation. But that doesn't stop FEMA.

For more info please see my blog post below. For engineers you can call Steve Martin in Tallassee or Kenneth White Jr in Montgomery.
