Water and land - Jefferson County
Jeffco floodplain maps can include local layers, not only FEMA
Jeffco's floodplain layer can include local floodplains FEMA never acknowledged, so a real flood check reads both maps, not one.
Read note ->Water and land - Arapahoe County
An Arapahoe County flood check starts with the official map
FEMA's flood maps are the official source for an Arapahoe County address, and a dry-looking yard is no substitute for checking them.
Read note ->Water and land - Delta County
Delta County floodplain work needs a permit before dirt work
Building or any land-changing work in a designated floodplain or floodway needs a floodplain development permit first.
Read note ->Water and land - Weld County
Weld floodplain work can need different permit paths
Weld floodplain work follows one of two permit paths, with minor swaps and larger site changes landing in different review lanes.
Read note ->Water and land - Arapahoe County
Arapahoe County flood map changes have a formal path
A flood map line moves only through formal FEMA action like a LOMA, LOMR, or physical map revision, never an informal correction.
Read note ->Water and land - Delta County
Delta County flood zone status starts with a map check
The county GIS map and its FEMA flood hazard layer are where to start checking whether a property sits in a flood zone.
Read note ->Home and property - Logan County
Check Logan County floodplain rules before building near low ground
A building permit includes a floodplain check, so parcels near the South Platte and low drainage areas need extra homework before work starts.
Read note ->Water and land - Fremont County
Fremont County floodplain questions belong in the building homework
Check flood damage prevention rules and FEMA maps before building near mapped flood risk in Fremont County.
Read note ->Home and property - Rio Blanco County
A Rio Blanco County floodplain permit is separate from other permits
A Rio Blanco County floodplain development permit clears work in a Special Flood Hazard Area but never replaces building, septic, pipeline, or other permits.
Read note ->Home and property - Adams County
Near the South Platte in Adams County, check the floodplain before you buy
Low ground along the South Platte and its tributaries in Adams County can sit in a mapped flood zone, which affects insurance and what you can build.
Read note ->Home and property - Logan County
The South Platte can flood, so check the floodplain before you buy near it
The South Platte River that runs through Logan County is usually low, but it has flooded the valley before, so a property's flood-zone status is worth checking before you buy.
