Variance Notification

Variance Notification. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice over the signature of a community official that: (1) The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood elevation will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage, and; (2) Such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property. A copy of the notice shall be recorded by the Floodplain Administrator in the Office of the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District Recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land. The Floodplain Administrator will maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report such variances issued in the community’s biennial report submission to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
