Know the limits
This page lists verified public Elevation Certificate (EC) portals we have indexed for North Carolina. 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.

Indexed sources
Primary action for each entry is the official portal. Community pages below link to dedicated Elevation Certificate landing pages for each indexed source.
Browse the street sections on the Town FEMA Elevation Certificates page, then select the PDF labeled with the street, number and certificate year. Use browser Find to locate an address. Contact Planning and Development at 910-458-8218 for assistance. An unlisted address does not establish that no certificate exists; ask the local floodplain office.

Open the Craven County 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 Craven County floodplain or building office. An address missing from the list does not prove no EC exists. Craven County's jurisdiction only; cities such as New Bern keep their own.

Open the Town of Kitty Hawk Elevation Certificates table on Forerunner. Use Filter to search by street address or parcel ID, then open a listed certificate to view or download it. You can also search the address on the portal home page and open the property's Files tab. If nothing is listed, that only means no EC is posted online. Older or paper ECs may not be uploaded, so ask the local floodplain office.
