LOMA and LOMR-F in Missouri

Yes, many Missouri properties qualify when the structure or parcel sits on natural high ground above the Base Flood Elevation. LOMA candidates often involve St. Charles and Jefferson County parcels on natural terraces. A specialist review can confirm whether the property matches the LOMA pattern before you order new survey work.

A LOMR-F applies when earthen fill created the elevation difference. LOMR-F cases are common in newer Missouri River bottom subdivisions on engineered fill. If fill was used, packaging the file as a LOMA usually creates delay.

Missouri-licensed Professional Land Surveyors or Professional Engineers must prepare elevation documents. FloodMapReview.com can review an existing Elevation Certificate or connect you with a qualified professional if new survey work is needed.
