I'm hearing criteria is damage can't be more than 50% of homes value.
If it is, you've got to raise it and won't get permit.

I've heard this to from some friends who flooded in Ascension.
If you house has damage valued at more than 50%, you have to raise the home. If the house is slab, it has to be torn down and rebuilt at the higher stage.
The problem is that those making the valuation haven't "settled" on the criteria for determining the home value. So my friends are in limbo right now and they can't even get a contractor to spend the time to measure and provide a quote out of fear the quote will be rendered useless if the house is ordered to be torn down.
They own a slab house that is about four inches below the flood stage.

My parents are having to wait to start the rebuilding process until it is determined if they have to raise the house. Apparently, a lot of people in Central are having to do the same.
How the hell do you raise a 2500 SF house that is on a concrete slab and how much does that cost?
