We received an appraisal on farm land that includes several parcels; some in and some not in a flood zone. The appraiser indicates that there are seven buildings - 2 inhabited, 2 uninhabited, a shop, and sheds. However, the appraisal does not indicate where these structures are located. We used Google Earth to identify the locations of all the structures and NONE are in a flood zone. Is this permissible to evidence that we do not need flood insurance or should we require the appraiser to provide us with the locations of the buildings?

OK. Got an answer from our consulting firm. We ordered too many determinations in this case. We should have only ordered determinations for the addresses known to have a structure.

Not sure if this would help, but I have also used the FEMA website and searched the flood maps to check the buildings and kept that in the file.
