I will not pay this "tax" very long since I will be paying off the mortgage soon. That is not the issue. Some cannot pay off their mortgage and will be burdened by this "tax" unless they pay for a new elevation study.

The cost for the new elevation study can range from $300 to $1,200 and still not guarantee that FEMA will redefine the flood plan rating for the property in question.

You are mistaken that this has been going on for years. FEMA issued the new flood plan maps in August of 2009. This is not hear say. This is from a firm in Houston that specializes in elevation measurements and did my flood assessment in 2004.

Admit it. This is an innovative way of generating new funds and not be called a tax. People are beginning to recognize what is going on. As I have said earlier, this is not about Smith Lake only. Many are facing flood insurance payments that do not live close to a lake.
