Hays County residents have been invited to comment on revised FEMA floodplain maps.

The comment period runs through May 5. When the comment period closes, the Federal Emergency Management Administration will schedule a meeting to discuss the maps with each community in the county. After that meeting, FEMA will accept appeals that use scientifically produced data demonstrating inaccuracies in the proposed maps. The maps can affect a property owner’s ability to develop his or her land. Property owners who are concerned about the maps and live in an unincorporated area of the county can contact the county’s floodplain administrator, Tom Pope, at [email protected] or Hays County Development Services, PO Box 1006, San Marcos, TX, 78667. Those living within the limits of a city in Hays County can contact the floodplain administrator of their respective city. An interactive map of the proposed revision can be viewed here.
