The unified government enforces FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the North Oconee River, Middle Oconee River, and tributary floodplains. Any development in a Special Flood Hazard Area requires a floodplain development permit, an elevation certificate at permit review and again at completion, and substantial improvements (work valued at 50% or more of the structure's market value) trigger full compliance with current floodplain standards.
