FEMA 50% Rule Compliance
Learn about FEMA 50% Rule compliance and how we ensure your property meets these regulations.
Understanding FEMA 50% Rule
The FEMA 50% Rule, also known as the Substantial Improvement/Damage Rule, is a critical regulation for property owners in flood-prone areas. This rule mandates that if the cost of repairing or improving a building equals or exceeds 50% of the building's pre-damage market value, the entire building must comply with current floodplain management regulations. This often means elevating the building or making other improvements to ensure it meets modern floodplain standards. At Appraisal Specialty Group, we understand the complexities of this rule and offer expert guidance to ensure your property remains compliant.
