200+ SIGN UP FOP LOMA

 
Many of you will recall the information given to us regarding a Letter of Map Amendment (L.O.M.A.). A letter from a survey company that shows our homes to be above the new flood levels for this area may help with the cost of flood insurance.


A company on Marco, familiar with our development offered a group price to do the survey and paperwork necessary to get home owners an amendment to the new FEMA Map.  April 15 is the cutoff date to join in the survey at a group rate.

So far there are over 200 homeowners who have decided to join in the project. Results will show actual elevation for each home. These results may help with flood insurance premiums which could rise dramatically in the next few years.

The L.O.M.A.'s will not begin to issue until after May 15th. This is the date the new F.E.M.A. maps goes into effect. The surveyor can then make the formal request to amend the map showing your correct elevation, which insurance companies will use in charging a premium.

Marco Surveying & Mapping, LLC is the company providing the survey at the group rate of $125.  They are located on Marco Island. Residents may also use a surveyor of their choosing. An informed decision is encourgaed.

Hi Mary,

Dennis is out with the camera as usual, and has no info on this.

Our reliable neighbor reports that Pulte/Divosta have no interest in getting involved with a "post sale" issue like this. Call YOUR insurance agent for professional input or the company offering the group price.

Make an informed personal decision.
