Part or all of this parcel is in FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area. Lenders making federally backed mortgages require flood insurance on buildings in that area. Flood Zones 101 explains what that means for a purchase.
Flood zones are FEMA's for the land parcel (for a condo, the whole complex), from the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map for Pinellas County (August 24, 2021, with later FEMA revisions) as published by Pinellas County, checked against FEMA's national flood layer. Zones touching under 1% of the parcel are left out. Flood insurance is rated on the building's own zone and elevation, which an elevation certificate confirms. Evacuation level is from the Pinellas County Property Appraiser record and matches Pinellas County Emergency Management's Know Your Zone map.
