Anyone tried to obtain a LOMA from FEMA recently? How long did it take once the elevation survey was completed and submitted to FEMA? Our realtor told us it takes 3-4 weeks but our lender told us it takes 2-4 months!!!

Our lender has already formally waived a requirement for flood insurance based on the elevation survey so we are not anticipating problems getting the LOMA issued. We just wondered how long it actually takes?

Thanks!

This is not recent, but in 1999, and I had the survey in February and received the LOMA May.
We had to have flood insurance in able to get the mortgage, but got a refund after I gave the insurance company a copy of the LOMA.

Thanks Kathy. Can't believe getting a LOMA could take that long! Glad yours was granted! Even though our bank doesn't require flood insurance I would prefer to get a LOMA anyway.

I turned in a copy of my LOMA to the county too. They said it wasn't necessary, but I wanted it in all my paper works.

We just turned ours in today. I hope not too long! We are trying to sell our house and it is no where near a flood zone. The river would have to flow backward up 600 feet to flood us. Soooo frustrating! The new FEMA maps are horribly inaccurate.
