Typical Flood Map Elements: Corporate Limit or County Line

The Corporate Limit or County Line identifies the jurisdictional limits of the community's regulatory authority over land development and building construction.

Note: In some states, an incorporated community may exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction (shown as ETJ on maps) over land development and building construction in areas beyond its corporate limits. Where appropriate, these limits are shown and labeled on the Index and on the appropriate map panel.
