Good morning, Palmetto Bay! We got lucky last night, but so many of our west coast neighbors were not as lucky as Miami-Dade.
Canals are a lovely part of our Village scenery, but they need our help to stay that way. While motorboats are allowed on Palmetto Bay's canals, they must adhere to rules and regulations just like vehicles on a road. Read more...

The Village of Palmetto Bay’s location in southeastern Florida makes us very susceptible to hurricanes and tropical storms. Additionally, our relatively flat topography and our network of canals and storm water infrastructure also contribute to flood risk across Palmetto Bay. The primary cause of flooding in the Village of Palmetto Bay is coastal flooding due to hurricane storm surge as well as normal tidal movement. Palmetto Bay is also susceptible to ponding from heavy rainfall. Flash flooding can also occur when heavy rains overflow small ditches or overwhelm the drainage system. This is especially true when leaves and debris clog the storm water system and limit its capacity. Being prepared is your best defense against a flood. Being prepared is your best defense against a flood.
Regulated floodplains are illustrated on inundation maps called Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). FIRMs are the official maps for a community on which FEMA has delineated the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), which represent the areas subject to inundation by the 1-percent annual chance flood event. On average, structures located within the SFHA have a 26-percent chance of flooding during the life of a standard 30-year mortgage.
FEMA FIRMs are available for free public viewing online at https://www.palmettobay-fl.gov/396/Flood-Zone-Designations or interactively on Palmetto Bay’s online GIS database. They can also be viewed at https://msc.fema.gov/ . Also, upon request, the Village Division of Stormwater will make free flood zone determinations for properties located within the Village. Call 305-969-5011 for more information.
Properties located outside of the SFHA are not guaranteed to be safe from flooding.
