100 yr flood zone, County says home uninhabitable not grandfather
Has has anyone ever experienced a County stating that a home is not habitable because it is not grandfathered in to the hundred year flood zone? The County is saying the home was built illegally even though it has had an Electric meter to it at one time and is zoned residential. The county says all of the other homes are grandfathered in to the hundred year flood plain. They seem to be unwilling to let this structure be used as a residential home. Their suggestion was getting an engineer and Blasting to change the terrain. All of the other Home sit alongside this home and are the same distance from the river. Why can't the purchaser just purchase the flood insurance? The property even has its certification for well and septic filed in the County's office. Is there any way to fight this?
