How do I know if my property/house is in the 100-year floodplain?
There are various sources that may be checked to see if a floodplain map exists for your community. Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are available online, or you can call the FEMA help line at 1-866-336-2627. You can also contact your local government, or your local library.

UDFCD does not supply these services to any homeowner. Check with your local government and they may help you find who supplies these services to you.
