How do you verify permit applications are outside the SFHA?

What system do you use to verify that permit applicants are either inside or outside the special flood hazard area - SFHA?

In our case I rely on our county's parcel access website which has flood hazard overlays

We have an overlay on our GIS maps. Takes about 3 seconds to see if you're in the flood zone or not.

the last building department I worked for,, required a firmette to be signed and sealed by a land surveyor to ensure the house was outside any flood plains if the GIS flood plain overlay touched the property.

When we onboarded TRAKiT, our GIS folks were supposed to be able to block out anything that was in the flood way/plain......still working on it. Fortunately, very small portion the jurisdiction.
