In communities that participate in the NFIP, construction is allowed within the V-Zone if it 

 complies with State and local floodplain ordinances that meet NFEP requirements. Lending 

 institutions enforce purchase of flood insurance for buildings located in the V-Zone as a 

 condition of obtaining Federally sponsored or insured mortgages or home-improvement loans. 

 All parcels of land fronting the Atlantic Ocean in Brevard County are at least partially within the 

 V-Zone and substantially or wholly within the A-Zone (FIRMs for Brevard County dated 

 April 1989 and August 1992). The dates that communities in Brevard County were first 

 identified as being in a flood zone by FEMA are shown in Table 2-3.
