Honest scope
This page lists verified public Elevation Certificate (EC) portals we have indexed for Michigan. It is not a national address→EC database. We do not invent whether a certificate is on file for a property, and we do not invent FEMA CRS classes or discount percentages. For CRS participation, use FEMA’s official eligible-communities materials.
National index snapshot: 120 portals across 17 states. This page covers Michigan only.
From search to next step
How to request an Elevation Certificate in Michigan
Search the matching city or county portal below (address, parcel, or map tools vary by site).
If no public portal matches your community, email or call the local floodplain administrator using our request-path contacts where listed, or your community’s building/floodplain office.
Confirm flood zone and Base Flood Elevation context on FEMA’s Map Service Center before relying on any certificate for insurance decisions.
Prefer the most recent FEMA Elevation Certificate form year your insurer accepts.
Primary action for each entry is the official portal. Community pages below link to dedicated Elevation Certificate landing pages for each indexed source.
Ann Arbor, MI — Elevation Certificates
Ann Arbor · MI · ArcGIS Web App · verified 2026-11-06
Public portal
Open Ann Arbor's floodplain map (ArcGIS), search your address, and click the parcel or EC marker. The City says all ECs and Letters of Map Change it has received are on this map. City limits only; surrounding townships keep their own records.
Open the City of Midland list of addresses with Elevation Certificates on file and search it for your street address (Ctrl+F). The list shows that a certificate is on file; to get a copy, contact the City of Midland floodplain or building office. An address missing from the list does not prove no EC exists.
These contacts are for communities without a public EC search we have indexed, or as a supplemental path. Always verify on the official page.
Presque Isle County
No public Elevation Certificate portal found (verified 2026-11-06). County Building & Zoning in Rogers City handles permits; ask whether an as-built EC is on file. Michigan EGLE generally does not keep EC records statewide.
This directory does not publish FEMA CRS classes or discount percentages for Michigan communities. Check participation and class on FEMA’s official CRS materials, then confirm with your insurer.
