Pinellas County Flood Plain Update
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is updating the Pinellas County digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), including the maps within the City of Safety Harbor. These maps are based on revised coastal flood modeling and may affect owners of properties susceptible to flooding from the Gulf, Tampa Bay, and inland areas near waterways connected to the Gulf or Bay. By the end of 2020, FEMA will issue Letters of Final Determination (LFDs) making the flood hazard information final. The City of Safety Harbor will then adopt the revised FIRMs and update the floodplain management ordinances. The updated flood hazard information will go into effect six months after the LFDs are issued.
