Property owners are encouraged to provide any relevant flooding information by taking a brief survey to assist the Town in evaluating properties that have experienced repetitive flood damage.

As part of the Town of Hilton Head Island’s participation in the National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS), the Community Development Department is evaluating properties that have experienced repetitive flood damage. This analysis will include the review of all previous flood data and studies conducted in these locations.

The repetitive loss analysis involves the collection of the following property level data elements:

• Building permit records (including application and associated records)
• Structure and site elevation information (elevation certificate, if available)
• District map and parcel number
• Building property value on record (assessed value, replacement value or both)
• Land property value on record
• Building codes/floodplain development regulations exceeding minimum standards
• Historical flood event information (when events occurred, amount of damage to property, etc.)

In addition, the Town of Hilton Head Island will assess each property to survey the flood risk and make flood protection recommendations. Property owners are encouraged to provide any relevant flooding information by taking an online survey. The survey will remain open until August 1, 2024.

The results of the repetitive loss area analysis will include review of alternative approaches for property protection measures or drainage improvements where feasible. Once the analysis is complete, a copy of the report can be obtained from the Community Development Department or by calling Shari Mendrick, Floodplain Administrator, at 843-341-4687.
