I am in a flood zone. The cost to repair my house will be more than 50% of the value of the structure. What am I required to do?

The Bay County floodplain ordinance and section 404.5 and section 606.2.4 of the Florida Existing Building Code would require the structure to meet the current floodplain ordinance for new construction.  Additional information can also be found from FEMA publications by clicking here.
