Getting permits for home repairs in flood-prone zones can be tricky because of a rule that mandates that home fixing costs cannot be more than 49 percent of its depreciated value within a certain time frame. Going over this limit can get your permit denied.

You must also be aware that there are lookback periods, which can be different for different areas. Therefore, you need to plan repairs carefully over the stipulated time to stick to your budget and avoid permit problems.

These lookbacks are an odd thing, as it pretty much limits your budget for repairs. This is a reason why I would never move to an area with high flood rates, as I don't want to risk being stuck to a certain budget because going past said budget could cause a permit to get denied.

As well, they have a limited time to use the budget for repairs before it drops. I feel bad for those living in high flood areas and just want to renovate their homes. Even if they aren't dealing with flooding, sounds like an annoying burden if anything.
