We like a lot in zip code 77355 that is in 100 year flood plain. How do I find building requirements?

Question

We had previously bought a lot that turned out to be in "flood way". We can't even clear the lot without permission and it can only be used for picnics!

Answer 1

Go to the county court house and get a plat map, that will tell you if you can build on it.

Also, if the person who sold the other property did not tell you about it being a flood way, you may be able to force them to buy it back
