FEMA flood zone rules in Danbury, CT — also called floodplain regulations or special flood hazard area (SFHA) rules — determine flood insurance requirements and elevation standards for new construction.
Danbury participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and enforces a flood damage prevention ordinance for development in FEMA-mapped special flood hazard areas, including portions of the Still River corridor. Building in a flood zone requires elevation to or above base flood elevation.
Development in mapped floodplains must obtain a floodplain development permit and meet elevation and floodproofing standards. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps define the regulated zones, and CT DEEP oversees the state floodplain program. Lenders require flood insurance for structures in Zone A/AE.
