Florida Coastal Development Regulations & FEMA Law

Coastal development regulations and FEMA regulations in Tampa Bay involve everything from permitting to building codes:

  • Local Floodplain Regulations restrict the elevation, density and types of construction allowed near the coast.
  • FEMA marks Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). Any new construction in these areas will need to comply with specific regulations involving efforts towards flood and wind resistance. Lenders in Florida often require properties be insurable, and compliance with floodplain requirements is a major component.
