The Public Works Department accepts email requests for Flood Hazard Status reports. These reports are based on staff’s interpretation of the following studies:

• Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and
• Sedona Floodplain Master Plan Update, performed by JE Fuller and adopted by Sedona City Council in July 2022

Request a Flood Hazard Status report

To request the Flood Hazard Status report, the following information must be included with the request:

• Parcel or tax assessor number (APN). This must be the current APN. A flood hazard status report cannot be completed if an invalid parcel number is provided.
• Street address. This helps confirm the property for the request is valid.
• Requestor information
  • Comments or special request
  • Requestor email address
  • Phone

Response time may be 2-3 business days. Public Works offices are open to the public Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM. Please email your request to: FloodStatus@SedonaAz.gov.

Certification 

The interpretation provided by the Public Works staff is not an instrument of certification. Certification must be determined by a field survey performed by a registered land surveyor or professional engineer. The information supplied with the Flood Hazard Status relates only to flood hazard areas formally designated by FEMA and/or local city floodplain maps.
