The 100-year flood (1% chance of flooding every year) limits depicted on the County maps are based on the countywide Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study and Maps that became effective May 16, 2016.

Additional information on how to view and/or obtain Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs), or Q3 data for Albemarle County, please consult the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website.

Please note that FEMA may issue Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letters of Map Revision (LOMR) to remove structures and/or parcels from the flood plain without revising the effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The County is not authorized to change the effective flood maps. Therefore, the flood zone status of a parcel in the County may change, but the maps from FEMA may still depict previous conditions. Questions about any LOMAs or LOMRs that may have been issued for County parcels can be directed to the County Engineer.
