A dramatic borough where steep bluffs drop to the Sandy Hook Bay and Shrewsbury River — and one of the most flood-exposed towns on the Bayshore.
Lower Highlands, along the bay and river, sits squarely in AE and VE flood zones and was hit hard by Sandy, so the flood elevation certificate is by far the most-requested survey in town. Up on the bluffs, topographic surveys for slope-constrained lots come into play.
Our shore office in Lavallette keeps a survey crew close to Highlands, 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.
Much of Highlands's waterfront and low-lying area is mapped AE — with VE on the most exposed bay and lagoon frontage. An elevation certificate pins down how your lowest floor relates to the Base Flood Elevation for your flood policy.
Yes. If your home sits higher than the maps assume, we prepare the elevation survey behind a LOMA or LOMR-F request, which can remove or lower a high-risk flood-zone requirement and the premium that comes with it.
We do — Highlands runs from the water back to dry mainland, and we handle boundary, flood and title work across all of it from our Lavallette office.
