The City of North Port assisting homeowners located in the AE flood zone with the FEMA “50% Rule”

City of North Port
The City is working diligently to assist homeowners located in the AE flood zone who had damages from Hurricane Ian. We know the information needed to complete the damage inventory packet for the FEMA “50% Rule” can be complicated and frustrating. While there is no shortcut, members of the City’s Building Division are devoting every day, all day, to meeting with every impacted homeowner in the AE flood zone to assist with the damage inventories and guide them through the process.
Due to the level of complexity and specific information for each home, the best way to ensure the damage inventories will comply with FEMA requirements is to meet with the Building Division staff for one-on-one guidance. These homeowners are strongly encouraged to visit the Building Division at City Hall. They can also contact Building Official Derek Applegate at 941-429-7299 or 941-429-7044.
