KNOW YOUR FLOOD RISK

Preliminary Flood Maps have been developed as part of the nationwide map modernization effort spearheaded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which manages the National Flood Insurance Program. Residents and businesses in the Town of Orange Park are encouraged to view the proposed new flood maps to better understand their potential flood risk and to help identify steps they may need to take to protect against property damage and loss. The proposed maps are available for viewing at Town Hall in the Economic and Community Development Department.

Property owners who wish to appeal the Flood Map determination have a couple of options. Depending on the specific circumstances, you may apply for a Letter of Determination Review (LODR), a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA), or a Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F). The application forms can be found on the FEMA Forms Webpage (click the More button below) and provide comprehensive, step-by-step instructions for requesters to follow ensuring that your submittal is complete and logically structured.

For questions or additional information, please call the Economic and Community Development Department at 904-264-2635.

Local Government Retirement Systems

The Department of Management Services monitors Florida's local government pension plans for actuarially sound funding under Part VII of Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. An actuarial summary fact sheet is available from the department's website for each local government pension plan that we monitor.

The fact sheets summarize basic information about each plan and compare that information to the average of Florida's other local government pension plans. This comparison helps to provide a frame of reference for the plan's performance relative to other plans. The fact sheet is prepared in accordance with section 112.665(1)(e), Florida Statutes, and includes the following information:

 The plan's actuarial status
 The most current actuarial and benefit data
 The minimum funding requirements as a percentage of pay
 A five-year history of funded ratios
 A comparison to the average of other Florida local government pension plans
 A brief explanation of each element presented to maximize the transparency of the local government plan
