FEMA is in the process of resolving any appeals and will issue a Letter of Final Determination. Broward County and the municipal governments will have six months from the date of the Letter of Final Determination to adopt the revised flood maps.
Upon adoption, the maps will become effective and be used for flood insurance purchase and rating purposes. Developers and builders will be required to use the finished floor elevations for new construction and substantial improvements to existing construction.
