FEMA flood zone rules in Cherry Hill, NJ — also called floodplain regulations or special flood hazard area (SFHA) rules — determine flood insurance requirements and elevation standards for new construction.
Cherry Hill Township enforces a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance adopting the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) identified by FEMA in the Flood Insurance Study Number 34007CV001C (Sept 28, 2007, last revised Aug 17, 2016) and the accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM).
Building in identified SFHAs (Zones A, AE, AH, AO, A99, V, VE) requires a flood development permit, elevation to or above the design flood elevation, and may require flood-resistant materials. Applicants altering watercourses must notify adjacent jurisdictions and NJDEP's Bureau of Flood Engineering. Cherry Hill follows the NJ Inland Flood Protection Rule (2024) for streams not covered by FEMA studies.
Unpermitted floodplain construction triggers stop-work, possible demolition, and NFIP non-compliance issues for the entire community.
