I believe with building permits, the BFE at the date of application applies, even if the FIRM maps and BFE change before it is issued.
However:
If Planning & Zoning is required before a building permit can be applied for, do you lock in the BFE using the P&Z application?
For example:
Application is made to P&Z for a new SFR on January 1
Application is approved by P&Z on Feb 1
FIRM maps and BFE change on Feb 2
Application for Building Permit is made on Feb 3
Do you recognize the FIRM maps and BFE for the date of P&Z application or Building Permit application?
