A narrow LBI borough where the island pinches thin between ocean and bay — one of the highest dune lines on the island.
Harvey Cedars is barrier-island land, almost entirely in AE and VE flood zones. Flood elevation certificates dominate the work, with boundary and stakeout surveys for elevated construction on the borough's slender, high-value lots.
Our shore office in Lavallette keeps a survey crew close to Harvey Cedars, 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 Harvey Cedars 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.
