Say you are completing a flood certificate. The FIRM depicts the zone line between AE12 and VE 14 going right thru the house. What do you put in the box for B8 and B9?
In my particular case, that would qualify as miracle. My State hasn't seen a VE zone since the early days of the Paleogene Period and the end of the Cretaceous Period.

After verifying the geographic position of the regulatory line, use the most restrictive.
You put both in (The form allows multiple zones....I do it all the time)...And then fill in the note area in detail. The house will probably have to meet the VE zone requirements but carry over some AE requirements. Say the lowest mechanical was an exterior HVAC in the AE zone at an elevation of 14.1....You will need to note it's location and zone so the insurers understand that it isn't in the VE zone.
The most restrictive zone. I've seen this a few times.
A guy had the corner of his roof just a few feet into an A zone on the new maps and the lender is pushing insurance on him. Of course he was a few miles out of town with no BFE so a Loma was not very cheap either...

Both with a slash
Describe in notes
Include firmette with every EC
Can you make a plan of it? Include that as well.
I will include in the notes when a VE is close to a dwelling

Whatever my local Flood Plain Administrator tells me to...
