Most construction projects require a building permit, whether the project is a small addition, interior remodel, or a simple accessory structure. These projects are reviewed by the Building Inspection Department to verify they meet certain building codes, as well as meet the flood proofing design requirements if the property is within the 100-year flood risk area. The specific building components and materials, along with design features, are required for these structures in order to minimize damage in the event of a flood.
The National Flood Insurance Program and Carver City Ordinance requires that if the cost of reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvements to a building in the flood plain equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value, then the building must meet the construction requirements of a new building placed in the flood plain. In most cases, this would require that the building be elevated to the flood protection elevations as required by City Ordinance.
Please contact Mark Pistulka ([email protected] or 952-448-8738), or Erin Smith ([email protected] or 952-448-8743) to ask any questions you may have regarding the flood plain or any construction projects.

If you do not have flood insurance, talk to your insurance agent. Most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover losses due to flooding. Flood insurance is only available to those participating communities in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The City of Carver participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, which makes flood insurance available to everyone in the City even if your property is outside of the flood plain areas.
For many people, their home and its contents represent their greatest investment. Be sure to check your policy to ensure you have adequate coverage. Usually these policies cover the structure but not the contents. Content coverage can be obtained by asking. The cost of the policy will vary depending on the amount of coverage and the degree of the hazard. There is a 30-day waiting period before insurance coverage becomes effective. Plan ahead; do not wait until a flood is predicted before purchasing flood insurance.
The City of Carver participates in the Community Rating System (CRS), which reduces flood insurance policy rates through proper floodplain management programs. Information about flood insurance can be obtained form your insurance agent. You do not have to live in the flood plan to qualify for flood insurance. Property owners can insure their building and contents and renters can insure their possessions.
