Floodplain Administration

The Fulton County Zoning Enforcement Officer also acts as the Floodplain Administrator for Fulton County. Managing and administering the Floodplain Ordinance is extremely important. Fulton County residents’ ability to participate in the “National Flood Insurance Program” is reliant upon the proper administration of the Floodplain Ordinance.

Building in a special flood hazard area is prohibited, unless the applicant & land owner can meet the strict rules governing the construction of buildings & structures in a special flood hazard area. For more information, please contact the Zoning Enforcement Officer at (309) 547-0902.
