Chapter 16.48 of the Vista Municipal Code is the Floodplain Ordinance for the City of Vista. The City maintains a Community Rating of nine (9), which provides a five (5) percent reduction in flood insurance premiums for residents, allows us to actively manage our floodplains, and helps us qualify for flood assistance programs. Floodplain determinations are not made by City staff.

Current Flood Insurance information is available at the following website:

• FEMA main site http://www.fema.gov
