FEMA flood zone rules in Page, AZ — also called floodplain regulations or special flood hazard area (SFHA) rules — determine flood insurance requirements and elevation standards for new construction.
Arizona statutorily delegates floodplain regulation to counties and flood control districts, setting uniform minimum standards for development in mapped floodplains statewide.
ARS Title 48 Chapter 21 (ARS 48-3601 et seq.) establishes floodplain management as a county responsibility and authorizes county flood control districts to adopt regulations meeting at least National Flood Insurance Program minimums. Cities may administer floodplain rules within their boundaries by intergovernmental agreement, but standards must equal or exceed county and state minimums. Building or grading in a regulatory floodway without a floodplain use permit is prohibited. The Arizona Department of Water Resources oversees state coordination.
Unpermitted floodplain development can result in stop-work orders, civil penalties up to several hundred dollars per day, mandatory removal, and loss of NFIP eligibility for the community.
