Floodplain Maps

Flood hazard maps, also called "Flood Insurance Rate Maps" or "FIRMs" are important tools in the effort to protect lives and properties in North Richland Hills. By showing the extent to which areas of the City and individual properties are at risk for flooding, flood maps help business and property owners make better decisions about protecting their property. These maps also allow engineers, community planners, local officials, builders and others to make important determinations about where and how new structures and developments should be built. Flood Insurance Rate Maps are used to determine the flood risk to your home or business. The low and moderate-risk zones are represented on the maps by the letter "X". The inland high-risk zones will be labeled "A" or "AE".

If you would like to research the flood hazards near your home or business, please access the City's Interactive Map. Click here for instructions on how to use this mapping tool.

If you would like to find out whether or not your property is located within a special flood hazard area, please contact the Pubic Works Department at 817.427.6400 for an official determination. This service is provided free of charge for properties located within the North Richland Hills city limits.
