Overview

In 2002, Oakland County entered into a Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Partnership Agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to create accurate, up-to-date flood hazard areas for Oakland County. This partnership has resulted in new Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs) for all of Oakland County. The effective date on the new maps is September 29, 2006. This interactive mapping site allows individuals to view the flood hazard areas in Oakland County. This site cannot be used as an official determination. Please contact your community, mortgage, or insurance company if you have specific questions about obtaining building permits for a property or flood insurance requirements, as they, or a company they work with, make final determinations. Using this site, you can also view a PDF of the official FEMA FIRM panel. Contact Information General information about flood maps: FEMA’s Frequently Asked Questions for Homeowners.
