Honest scope
This page lists verified public Elevation Certificate (EC) portals we have indexed for Texas. 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 Texas only.

How to request an Elevation Certificate in Texas
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.
