Winnebago County participates in the Community Rating System sponsored by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) wherein individuals with property located in a floodplain, and who are required to hold flood insurance, may receive a reduction in flood insurance premiums if the participating community undertakes certain activities. One of the activities required is making map determinations, and publicizing the information to lenders, insurance agents and realtors. As a requirement of county participation in this program, please be advised of the following information: The Winnebago County Zoning Office will provide assistance to persons inquiring about floodplain property within the unincorporated area of Winnebago County.

The following information will be provided (available in our office for all floodplain construction since 1990):

• Community Number FIRM suffix
