Floodplain
Marion County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). As a participant in the NFIP, our community has adopted the required floodplain management ordinances. These ordinances require that no land alteration, watercourse alteration, open land us, legally established nonconforming use, or structure as defined shall be constructed, erected, placed, converted, enlarged, extended, reconstructed, improved, repaired, restored, or relocated until a floodplain development permit is issued for the proposed activity. The permit review process includes the use of such information as certified plans, FEMA flood maps, cooperation with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and other information relative to public health and safety in a special flood hazard area.
