BFE, use the “Free of Obstruction” rate table in the Rating or Condominiums section as appropriate. Also use these rates if an enclosure has solid load-bearing walls that provide less than 25% of the building’s structural support. The elevation of the bottom enclosure floor is the lowest floor for rating (LFE).

Base Flood Elevation (BFE) Elevation of the 100-year flood. The BFE is determined by statistical analysis for each local area and is designated on the FIRMs. This elevation is the basis of the insurance and floodplain management requirements of the NFIP.
