Sea Ranch Lakes keeps its flood rules inside the land development code appendix and adds no freeboard number of its own, so the Florida Building Code's BFE + 1 ft applies. FEMA's report does not list the village in the Community Rating System. Its floodplain rules sit in an appendix to the land development code rather than in a stand-alone chapter.
