What is typically included in a permit for developing in a floodplain?

  1. Mandated agricultural guidelines

  2. Sports and recreational facilities plans

  3. Mandated elevation requirement and signatures

  4. Tax payment records

The correct answer is: Mandated elevation requirement and signatures

A permit for developing in a floodplain typically includes mandated elevation requirements and signatures. This is because developing in a floodplain can pose a high risk for flooding, and therefore, requires certain precautions to be taken to ensure the safety of the development and its occupants. Mandated agricultural guidelines (A), sports and recreational facilities plans (B), and tax payment records (D) are not typically included in a floodplain development permit as they are not directly related to flood protection and safety measures.
