of the top of the crawlspace floor in Item C2.a, whether or not the crawlspace has permanent flood openings (flood
vents). If any item does not apply to the building, enter "N/A" for not applicable.
Item C2.e. Enter the lowest platform elevation of at least 1 of the following machinery and equipment items: elevators
and their associated equipment, furnaces, hot water heaters, heat pumps, and air conditioners in an attached garage
or enclosure or on an open utility platform that provides utility services for the building. Note that elevations for these
specific machinery and equipment items are required in order to rate the building for flood insurance. Local floodplain
management officials are required to ensure that all machinery and equipment servicing the building are protected
from flooding. Thus, local officials may require that elevation information for all machinery and equipment, including
ductwork, be documented on the Elevation Certificate. If the machinery and/or equipment is mounted to a wall, pile,
etc., enter the platform elevation of the machinery and/or equipment. Indicate machinery/equipment type and its
general location, e.g., on floor inside garage or on platform affixed to exterior wall, in the Comments area of Section D
or Section G, as appropriate. If this item does not apply to the building, enter "N/A" for not applicable.
Items C2.f–g. Enter the elevation of the ground, sidewalk, or patio slab immediately next to the building. For Zone AO,
use the natural grade elevation, if available. This measurement must be to the nearest hundredth of a foot (nearest
hundredth of a meter, in Puerto Rico) if this certificate is being used to support a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F.
Item C2.h. Enter the lowest grade elevation at the deck support or stairs. For Zone AO, use the natural grade
elevation, if available. This measurement must be to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto
Rico) if this certificate is being used to support a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F.
SECTION D – SURVEYOR, ENGINEER, OR ARCHITECT CERTIFICATION
Complete as indicated. This section of the Elevation Certificate may be signed by only a land surveyor, engineer, or
architect who is authorized by law to certify elevation information. Place your license number, your seal (as allowed by
the State licensing board), your signature, and the date in the box in Section D. You are certifying that the information on
this certificate represents your best efforts to interpret the data available and that you understand that any false
statement may be punishable by fine or imprisonment under 18 U.S. Code, Section 1001. Use the Comments area of
Section D to provide datum, elevation, openings, or other relevant information not specified elsewhere on the certificate.
SECTION E – BUILDING ELEVATION INFORMATION (SURVEY NOT REQUIRED)
FOR ZONE AO AND ZONE A (WITHOUT BFE)
Complete Section E if the building is located in Zone AO or Zone A (without BFE). Otherwise, complete Section C instead.
Explain in the Section F Comments area if the measurement provided under Items E1–E4 is based on the "natural grade."
Items E1.a and b. Enter in Item E1.a the height to the nearest hundredth of a foot (hundredth of a meter in Puerto Rico)
of the top of the bottom floor (as indicated in the applicable diagram) above or below the highest adjacent grade (HAG).
Enter in Item E1.b the height to the nearest hundredth of a foot (hundredth of a meter in Puerto Rico) of the top of the
bottom floor (as indicated in the applicable diagram) above or below the lowest adjacent grade (LAG). For buildings in
Zone AO, the community's floodplain management ordinance requires the lowest floor of the building be elevated above
the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number on the FIRM. Buildings in Zone A (without BFE) may
qualify for a lower insurance rate if an engineered BFE is developed at the site.
Item E2. For Building Diagrams 6–9 with permanent flood openings (see pages 8–9), enter the height to the nearest
hundredth of a foot (hundredth of a meter in Puerto Rico) of the next higher floor or elevated floor (as indicated in the
applicable diagram) above or below the highest adjacent grade (HAG).
Item E3. Enter the height to the nearest hundredth of a foot (hundredth of a meter in Puerto Rico), in relation to the
highest adjacent grade next to the building, for the top of attached garage slab. (Because elevation for top of attached
garage slab is self-explanatory, attached garages are not illustrated in the diagrams.) If this item does not apply to the
building, enter "N/A" for not applicable.
Item E4. Enter the height to the nearest hundredth of a foot (hundredth of a meter in Puerto Rico), in relation to the
highest adjacent grade next to the building, of the platform elevation that supports the machinery and/or equipment
servicing the building. Indicate machinery/equipment type in the Comments area of Section F. If this item does not apply
to the building, enter "N/A" for not applicable.
