Floodplain Information

The City of Oxford is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP offers flood insurance to any homeowner or renter in a participating community regardless of their flood risk. Since damages incurred from flooding are generally not covered by a standard homeowners insurance policy, the NFIP can be a valuable source of protection for property owners and renters living in high flood hazard or low lying areas. Because the city is a member of the NFIP, it is required to maintain and enforce a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, which governs and regulates developments in flood hazard areas. Check out the ordinance by clicking the link below:
