How can I remove my property from the flood plain designation?
Community Development
-
Property owners may seek lower flood hazard insurance rates and additional construction privileges by seeking to demonstrate their property elevation is higher than the regulated flood elevation level indicated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).
The Community Development and Zoning Office can facilitate the process for one to apply to have their property removed from the 1% Annual Chance Flood Event Hazard Classification (commonly known as the 100-year flood hazard area and designated as "ZONE AE" or "ZONE A" on a Flood Insurance Rate Map). The process involved the property owner, at their own cost, lining up a State-licensed surveyor of their choice to complete an "elevation certificate". Once completed, this certificate can be filed by the hired surveyor to FEMA for review. If approved, FEMA may issues what is called a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA). This process is to allow for construction considerations without adding fill material or elevating the structure. For those property owners adding fill material in the Floodway Designation area, or the areas commonly along the riverfront or local streams found on the FIRM, one would use surveyor and/or engineering company at their expense to complete what is known as a Letter of Map REvision (LOMR), or a Letter of Map Reviision Based On Fill (LOMR-F). In both situations, the City will recognize a completed letter from FEMA and may consider for review all applicable building permit applications in the regulated flood plain areas.
For additional questions on all of the above information, one may contact FEMA at 1.877.336.2627 (1-877-FEMA MAP). This number may also be utilized to help answer common questions such as:
- How long does it take to get the map revised?
- I was just told by my lender that my house is in a flood plain and I need flood insurance, what are my options?
- Was a LOMA ever issued for my property?
- Has the National Flood Insurance Program Flood Hazard map for my community been revised?

The Waverly Bark Park rules are in place to protect all users, canine and human. They are also posted at the dog park.
The most important rule is to have your dog immunized. The State of Iowa requires rabies and distemper shots for all dogs. We highly recommend Bordetella and a fecal screen on a regular basis. This will protect your dog as well as other users of the park.
Dogs must be at least 4 months old to use the park. Dogs in heat should not use the park.
Humans must be 8 years of age to enter the park and 15 years of age to bring a dog to the park. Dogs and younger children can’t be supervised adequately at the same time. When in the facility, humans must control their dogs at all times.
Owners are responsible for picking up after their dogs. Failure to do so could result in a fine and loss of the privilege to use the facility. Dog bags are available at the park or bring a grocery bag when you visit the park.
Dog treats and human food should not be brought into the park. Give your dog a treat after the visit.
Safety is important to all users of the Waverly Bark Park, human and canine. Remember to have all your shots up to date, be of age to enter the dog park, and to always pick up after yourself.
For additional information, call Waverly Leisure Services Dept. at 352-6263.
