Santa Fe Watershed Flood Risk
The Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD) is working on a flood risk project in partnership with FEMA that includes Columbia County. The project began in February 2021, and the study contractor has created draft maps showing changes to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The proposed changes could affect some residents, potentially moving them into or out of flood zones, which could have an impact on insurance rates.
Use the map link below to view proposed flood zone changes to your property.
The map includes the ability to provide comments and feedback. Read the "Map Tutorial" below for help.
Schedule an appointment for assistance
In order to assist county residents, Columbia County will be setting up appointments to provide support to residents to input comments and feedback onto the online Santa Fe Watershed map. Scheduling will be for first week of April, and appointments will be set for:

County staff will be available to help locate properties and indicate changed flood plains. Staff will also assist with inputting comments and feedback into the online map.
