County Floodplain Regulations
The County Engineer for Summit County acts as the floodplain manager for all areas in unincorporated Summit County. Floodplain Management regulations are found in
Chapter 4 of the Code. Floodplain Management duties are performed as members in good standing of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in accordance with FEMA regulations promulgated in the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) regulations promulgated in the
CWCB Adopted Floodplain Rules and Regulations.
The officially adopted Flood Maps may be found online at the
FEMA Map Service Center, or hard copies may be viewed or purchased at the Summit County Engineering Department office in the County Commons campus. Any questions regarding the County’s Floodplain Management regulations, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries, flood maps, or other flood hazard related questions should be directed to the
