With nearly two months of hurricane season remaining, the City of Tampa has created a new digital tool to keep residents and their properties safer. The user-friendly database allows residents and builders to easily access potentially life and property-saving data and resources without having to go far. Finding flood information about your home has never been easier.
Finding flood information
Now homeowners and builders can access critical flood risk information, property warnings, potential building and insurance compliance requirements. They can even find property elevation certificates. Before this portal was created, residents and builders had to go through countless pages of intricate property maps to find their individualized information.

“Living in a coastal city, situated in one of the most active hurricane and tropical storm surge regions, it’s increasingly important for our residents to stay informed about their properties’ flood risk and take the steps they need to protect their assets,” said C Hudgison, Chief Building Official for the City of Tampa.
The new technology serves as a centralized location for all property flood-related resources. Residents can also submit questions through the portal.
