Beginning June 3rd, 2013, the Yavapai County Flood Control District established new hours of operation at its Prescott location at 1120 Commerce Drive. The new hours are as follows:

Monday through Thursday: 7:00am – 5:00pm

Friday: 7:00am – 1:00pm

If you are a resident living in the Doce Fire or Yarnell Hill Fire area and are concerned about potential flooding, you may request a fire-specific Flood Hazard Request from the Yavapai County Flood Control District. We will be processing these requests daily. Please send an email to FireFlood.Hazard@yavapai.us and include parcel number or tax assessor number (APN), the requester information including name, mailing address, phone number, comments or special requests, and a return email address (if different than originating address).

Did you know that your home may be at a greater risk of flooding as a result of the Doce Fire? Visit our Post-Fire Flood Potential page for more information.

The National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary incentive program in which communities are rewarded for floodplain management activities. The program provides opportunity for discounted flood insurance premiums for policyholders in communities that participate. Communities are issued a class rating dependent upon the number of points earned through various participatory programs.

Yavapai County recently increased to a Class 6 CRS rating! This means a benefit of up to a 25% discount for policyholders within the Special Flood Hazard Area! Call your insurance agent to find out about possible discounts on your flood insurance!

This project will remove pollutants from stormwater runoff and has also constructed groundwater recharge basins for infiltrations into the Prescott Aquifer. Read more…
