UPDATED INFORMATION: January 26, 2020

I just wanted to let you know, that the revised Regulatory Flood Elevation for the lake was officially approved last week by the Sawyer County Board of Supervisors.

The old Regulatory Flood Elevation of 1,377' has now been revised to 1,371.5', a reduction of 5.5', which will remove the vast majority of the structures on the lake from the flood zone. Anyone currently paying for flood insurance should be able to get their lender to drop that requirement based on this new RFE.

When buying, selling or transferring property on the lake where a mortgage lender is involved, a Letter of Map Amendment will still be required. With the new RFE of 1,371.5 in place, very few people will have an issue securing one that proves their structures are not in the flood plain. (thus allowing sales and transfers to close smoothly)

Land Use Permits for new construction and extensive remodels will also be much easier to secure from the Sawyer County Zoning Department based on the lower RFE.

The MLIA Board started working on getting the RFE revised 16 months ago and it's nice to see the requested revision finally be officially approved.

See the official notice below.
