Topographic Surveys – used to map and identify the terrain and features of a land area. They accurately gather data about the elevation of land and present them as contour lines on a plot. Topographic surveys account for any existing objects on or near the surface, such as buildings, streets, manholes, walkways, retaining walls, utility poles, and trees.
Elevation Certificates – a document prepared for structures that are in a flood plain. The document lists a building’s location, lowest point of elevation, flood zone, and other characteristics, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It is used to enforce local building ordinances and to help determine flood insurance rates.
