MONTGOMERY COUNTY FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS (click here)
*Located within special flood hazard areas are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, special provisions shall apply. The installation of a new septic system, or the repair/replacement of an existing septic system in the floodway is strictly prohibited by the On-Site Sewage Facility Regulations of Montgomery County.
NOTICE: The steps for permitting a structure in the floodplain have changed. See steps.
