Building In a Floodplain Dallas, Texas?

Bryce Bedford
Posted

Has anyone had experience building in a floodplain, I am looking at a lot on the edge of a floodplain in a booming area It’s a 0.2% chance of a flood per year, I am wondering how difficult it is to get permits and build. Where I currently live you can build in a floodplain, your house just has to be a certain level above, which I am accommodating for in the engineering plans. Has anyone had experience building in a floodplain in Dallas I am not super knowledgeable about all of the ordinances and just want to see if it would even be reasonable to go through those hoops before I decide to do so.
