The Flood Control District of Maricopa
County was created to protect citizens and property from injury and
severe damage due to flooding. To this end, we continuously work to
educate the public of the dangers and damages that are associated with
flooding and to provide them with information concerning the location of
delineated 100-year floodplains.
The District participates in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Community Rating System (CRS) program.
The CRS program allows property owners to receive flood insurance
premium discounts on their flood insurance premiums based upon how well
local communities perform floodplain management. Unincorporated
Maricopa County is currently rated as a Class 5 community in the CRS
program, which means discount of 25% on flood insurance for structures
located in delineated Special Flood Hazard Areas.
The District provides Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM) information for most areas within Maricopa County to
determine whether a property is located within the boundaries of a
delineated 100-year floodplain, and therefore, making it necessary to
purchase flood insurance. The District's Regulatory Division
provides the determination service. More information about this
service can be obtained by calling 602/506-1501 and asking for a
Floodplain Representative.
The District also has elevation
certificates on file for residences constructed or placed in the
floodplain in unincorporated Maricopa County after 1986.
The floodplain limits for delineated
100-year floodplains within Maricopa County are available online by
visiting the District's website at
www.fcd.maricopa.gov. Also, the elevation certificates that
the District has for residences located in unincorporated Maricopa
County may be accessed through the District's website.
