Because new buildings built in the floodplain are at risk of flood damage, elevating or dry floodproofing of non-residential buildings are some important requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

Since the city is a participant in the Community Rating System (CRS), all new and substantially improved structures in Roseville are required to use the current version of FEMA's Elevation Certificate form and FEMA’s Dry Floodproofing for Non-Residential Structures form.

FEMA Elevation Certificate form and information

FEMA has updated their Elevation Certificate form. All Elevation Certificates that are developed within the City of Roseville on or after July 7, 2023, must use this updated FEMA's Elevation Certificate form. Surveyors, building owners, and engineers can find detailed instructions on the updated form.

If the form opens with a “Please wait…” message, download the file to your computer and open it with an Adobe software (e.g. Reader or Acrobat). On the form, toggle from the fillable form to the instructions by clicking the "Form instructions" button at the top of the file. 

FEMA Dry Floodproofing for Non-Residential Structures form and information

FEMA has updated their Dry Floodproofing for Non-Residential Structures Form. All new development within the City of Roseville that seeks to use a dry-floodproofing method on or after July 7, 2023, must use this updated form. Surveyors, building owners, and engineers can find detailed instructions on the updated form.
