The City of Plantation requires Elevation Certificate (EC) for all new construction or repair for substantially damaged structures within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as required by the City’s Building Official and/or the Flood plain Manager. When a property owner requests a permit for building a new structure, remodeling an existing structure, or rebuilding a damaged structure, the Building Department staff will review the parcel information.  If parcel is located within the SFHA, then applicant is provided with an elevation certificate requirement that requires the submittal of two EC’s, one during construction and one at final prior to the request of occupancy approval. To learn more about the elevation certificate requirements, please call the engineering Department at (954) 797-2282.
