🌊 Sarasota Flood Zone Home Additions: Building Smart, Safe, and Stylish
Many of Sarasota’s most sought-after neighborhoods, including Siesta Key, Bird Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key, lie within FEMA-designated flood zones. Building a home addition in these areas requires careful planning to comply with strict flood regulations while creating beautiful, functional spaces.
At Homes By Strong, we specialize in flood zone additions that balance safety, style, and Sarasota’s unique coastal building codes.
Why Flood Zone Additions Are Unique
🏗️ Elevated Foundations Are a Must
Flood zones require homes and additions to be raised above base flood elevation (BFE), often on pilings or raised slabs, to minimize flood damage.
📋 Stringent Building Codes & Permitting
Your addition must meet FEMA, Sarasota County, and local floodplain management regulations, including materials, structural design, and mechanical system protections.
💡 Insurance & Resale Benefits
Proper flood-compliant construction reduces flood insurance premiums and protects your property value.
