Floodplain Management

The City of Aransas Pass is a National Flood Insurance Program participating community. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) was created in order to provide federally subsidized flood insurance. To make the federally subsidized flood insurance available to residents, the City of Aransas Pass adopted floodplain regulations and Flood Insurance Rate Maps. In order to continue making affordable flood insurance available, the City of Aransas Pass is required to enforce the adopted floodplain regulations based on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM's).
