Tampa Bay Region - Southwest Florida Water Management District

(City Code 16.30.040 through 16.40.060.4.5), to regulate development in the flood hazard areas. The basic objective of the
ordinance is to ensure that such development will not aggravate existing flooding conditions and to verify that new buildings will be
protected from damage. St. Petersburg also participates in the Community Rating System (CRS), which requires communities to do
more than just regulate construction of new buildings to minimum national standards (NFIP). Under the CRS, flood insurance
premiums are adjusted to reflect community activities that reduce flood damage to existing buildings, manage development in areas
not mapped by the NFIP, and protect new buildings beyond the minimum NFIP protection level.
