City of Stamford Offers Flood Risk Information To Property Owners, Others

​We have received a request from the City of Stamford, CT to publicize the following information:

The  City  of Stamford  Environmental  Protection  Board  (EPB)  responds  to inquiries  by owners, agents, bankers, real estate brokers and other interested parties regarding flood mapping,   
floodplain   management   and   other   pertinent   flood   related   information. Information that may be obtained as part of this free service includes:

  • A determination as to whether a property is situated in or outside of a Special Flood Hazard  Area  (SFHA)  as  reflected  on  the  Flood  Insurance  Rate  Map  (FIRM)  for Stam ford, Connecticut ;
  • Pertinent  flood  insurance data for a site, such as the flood zone designation, base flood elevation (BFE) and/or the location of the regulatory floodway as reflected on the FIRM for Stamford, Connecticut;
  • Available historical flood information; and/or
  • Available information regarding the approximate location of wetlands or other sensitive areas.

lf a property lies within the SFHA, EPB Staff will inform the interested party that federal law requires the purchase of flood insurance if the property has been financed by a federally backed mortgage or loan. Handouts describing the mandatory flood insurance requirement are available from the EPB.

Requests for flood map and other related information may be made by phone (203-977-4028) or by email ​ (rclausi@stamfordct.qov​ ). When Covid-19 emergency protocols are relaxed, the EPB will resume processing in person flood map information requests at our office on the 7th Floor of the Stamford Government Center, 888 Washington Boulevard,
Stamford, Connecticut 06904. Walk-in service will generally be available between the hours of B:00AM and '12:00PM, Monday through Friday. To ensure the accuracy of our response, flood map information requests should include some basic data to help staff pinpoint the location of the property, such as the address, a legal description, or a copy of a current survey, aerial photograph, or the Assessor's Card.
