Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form (SFHDF)?
The SFHDF (FEMA Form 086-0-32) is the official form used to determine whether a property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area. Federally regulated lenders are required to obtain this form for every mortgage loan.
How accurate are your determinations?
Our determinations reference the most current FEMA DFIRM data and are accepted by all federally regulated lenders. If you believe a determination is inaccurate, we will review it at no charge and issue a corrected certificate if needed.
Can I use these certificates for loan closings?
Yes. Every certificate we produce uses the official FEMA NFIP form and is accepted by banks, credit unions, and mortgage companies for originations, refinances, and servicing transfers.
Do you support bulk or API-based lookups?
Absolutely. You can upload a CSV for batch processing or integrate directly with our REST API. We also offer LOS integrations for Encompass and MeridianLink.
