Remember the "100 yr flood plain" is based on past climate and geography. With the ever increasing clearing and parking lots the old 100 yr flood plain may now be the 5 yr flood plain with upstream changes.I've long dreamed of building, and owning an earth home. Congratulations! My property is in a 100 year flood plain, and even though the FEMA maps are very inaccurate, the county would never allow me to put an earth home here. My next choice to replace my 1973 mobil home is a geodesic dome. Whatever I do, they will make me pay through the nose with permits, and flood plain certificates. Having been here 33 years, I am the expert on my property - not them.
