New Lake Travis FEMA Floodplain Maps - http://www.tcrfc.org/Lake_Travis_maps/Lake_Travis_maps.shtml
The current 100 year floodplain sits at 715'above mean sea level and is being raised to 722'msl. This is a very important fact when purchasing property on the Lake. Be sure that your Real Estate Agent is fully aware of the consequences of this floodplain change. You may be required to carry Flood Insurance and your lender will require a flood elevation certificate on the property. Lake Travis is a fluctuating level lake. Boat docks on the lake tend to be floating docks in order to accomodate the frequent adjustments that are needed due to the lake level changes.
For more information on FEMA flood insurance, contact the FEMA Region VI office at 940-898-5127 or the National Flood Insurance Program at 281-829-6880. Information about both programs can also be found at www.fema.gov.
