TECHNICAL BULLETINS AND TECHNICAL FACT SHEETS: | FEMA publications that provide guidance concerning the building performance standards of the NFIP, which are contained in Title 44 of the U S Code of Federal Regulations § 60.3. The bulletins and fact sheets are intended for use primarily by State and local officials responsible for interpreting and enforcing NFIP regulations and by members of the development community, such as design professionals and builders. New bulletins, as well as updates of existing bulletins, are issued periodically as needed. The bulletins do not create regulations. Rather they provide specific guidance for complying with the minimum requirements of existing NFIP regulations. |
It should be noted that Technical Bulletins and Technical Fact Sheets provide guidance on the minimum requirements of the NFIP regulations. State or community requirements that exceed those of the NFIP take precedence. Design professionals should contact the community officials to determine whether more restrictive State or local regulations apply to the building or site in question. All applicable standards of the State or local building code must also be met for any building in a flood hazard area. | |
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED: | Having the temperature regulated by a heating and/or cooling system, built-in or appliance. (Ord. 565, 5-3-2017; amd. Ord. 690, 4-18-2023) |
