What is a Floodplain? Am I in one?

The Georgetown floodplain districts were determined from elevations along stream corridors with reference to the US Coast and Geodetic Survey Markers.

According to the Georgetown Zoning Code Bylaw “No building permit shall be issued for any structure and no other permit shall be issued for any purpose … located within an area designated as Floodplain District on a map entitled ‘Floodplain Zoning Map, Revised May 1, 1980’. ”  (Zoning Bylaw, Chapter 165, Town of Georgetown, February 2006)

Call the Georgetown Zoning Board (352-5742) or the Conservation Commission (352-5712) if you have questions about the location of floodplains.
