Questions
No. Requests for a Letter of Map Amendment are exempt from FEMA's review and processing fees. You may still pay a surveyor or engineer for the elevation information.
FEMA notifies the applicant in writing within 60 days of receiving the technical information, or says it needs another 60 days. The letter states whether the property is in the flood zone or should be removed.
A policyholder whose property gets a Letter of Map Amendment may cancel the policy within the current policy year and receive a premium refund, under the conditions in 44 CFR 62.5.
