National index snapshot: 120 portals across 17 states. This page covers one verified source in Maryland.
Official source
Open Howard County's Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) viewer, search your address, and turn on/inspect the Elevation Certificates layer; certificate locations link to documents. Or contact the Bureau of Environmental Services at 410-313-6444 or DoIFlood@HowardCountyMD.gov. An unlisted address does not establish that no certificate exists; ask the local floodplain office.
