I'm reading the top of the finished first floor as 446.9 correct? What is the basement elevation? That needs to be above flood and might be a problem.

Base Flood elevation is 439.6. Lowest adjacent grade is 436.9. Top of bottom floor is 446.9. Attached garage top of slab is 443.7.


Our inspectors would not allow us to install vents that could be closed. You either got the type that didn't close or pulled the closing portion off. Had to install vents in garge doors as well to get the needed requirement.

In addition, we have to add 1' to base for the top of the finished floor.

Every house we insured had the same cost for the basic $250k in flood insurance. Didn't matter what ins co you bought it from.
