Floodplain Permit Requirements in Culver
There are portions of the city which are included in the FEMA Floodplain and a development permit is required if your property is located in the flood plain. In order to ensure the city is following the ordinances, the Notice of Intent application is required for “development” in the city.
Development is defined as: Any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations or storage of equipment or materials.
In most cases a Floodplain permit will not be required but in order to ensure one is submitted when required, we are asking that the Notice of Intent be completed with any development activity.
Please call Donna at 541-546-6494 with any questions.
