This table is for residential structures which are intact and functional at the time of application. It shall not be applicable for structures which have been destroyed 50% or greater by coastal storms. Structures which have been destroyed 50% or more by coastal storms will be processed as new applications under the appropriate sections of the RICRMP and applicable SAMPs. Relief from this table requires a Special Exception.

*On Moderately Developed and Undeveloped Barriers, only in-kind maintenance is allowed. If a lot can support it, the structure may be moved back and up (FEMA-compliant). However, in-kind rebuild is still only allowance.
