FEMA Floodplain Mapping

Listed below are links to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Brown County. These maps were adopted by the Brown County Board of Supervisors on July 22, 2009, and became effective on August 18, 2009. Some panels have been revised since 2009.

You can view these in the panel format only but will not be able to query by parcel number, address, or name. You can determine the panel number you would like to view via the index page.
