A small, walkable oceanfront borough between the Shark River and the Atlantic, tightly platted and almost entirely in mapped flood zones.
Hemmed in by the ocean and the Shark River, nearly every lot in Avon-by-the-Sea sits in an AE or VE flood zone. The flood elevation certificate is the most-requested survey in town, with boundary work on the borough's famously narrow lots a close second.
Our shore office in Lavallette keeps a survey crew close to Avon-by-the-Sea, so you're not waiting on a firm driving in from out of county. With more than 50 years of records across the Jersey Shore — and an archive of historic survey histories most firms simply don't have — we can often resolve a boundary, locate an old monument or turn a closing survey faster than starting cold.
Most of Avon-by-the-Sea is mapped within a FEMA flood zone — commonly AE, with VE along the oceanfront. A flood elevation certificate documents exactly how your lowest floor sits relative to the Base Flood Elevation, which drives your insurance rating.
Often, yes. If your lowest floor is at or above the Base Flood Elevation, an elevation certificate — and sometimes a LOMA — can reduce your premium or remove a high-risk flood-zone requirement. We prepare the data both rely on.
Fast — our crew works out of Lavallette, so the shore is our home turf. For closings and policy deadlines we routinely turn elevation certificates and boundary surveys on a tight schedule.
Send the address and your deadline and we'll get you a price and a date — fast.
