Elevation Certificates

Determine Your Level of Risk for Flooding

An Elevation Certificate lists the floor elevations and flood zones for new homes and buildings within the Village. This certificate informs property owners of the level of risk from flooding for the particular structure. It also indicates whether a structure is lower than the current required elevation for when the 50% rule applies. In addition, the elevation certificate assists residents in getting an accurate quote for flood insurance.

The Village has a list of addresses where FEMA Elevation Certificates may be available to determine the elevation of a building relative to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Please use the following link below to access the addresses:

Important: The Village of Palmetto Bay's Building Department was established in 2003.  So, if the new construction or substantial improvement happened before 2003, there is a possibility that the Village may not have your elevation certificate in our database.  If you are unable to locate your Elevation Certificate, we encourage you to also try searching on Miami Dade County's RER website.  Also, the Village of Palmetto Bay does not vouch for the authenticity of the Elevation Certificate. Please contact the surveyor who audited the property for any questions regarding certified elevations.
