Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance that was adopted by the Matagorda County Commissioners in December 2020. Its stated purpose is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in flood prone areas. This ordinance particularly applies to new construction and structures being substantially improved (damage or repairs exceed 50% of the market value of the structure). Section F(9) deals with Recreational Vehicles in coastal high hazard areas, of which the DCCCLOA is a part of and specifically mentioned.
