The cabinet may establish minimum standards by administrative regulation for
floodplain management. Except in local governments containing a city of the first
class, local governments may establish their own standards by ordinance.
In counties containing a city of the first class that have adopted a floodplain
ordinance, standards relating to substantial improvements to a structure damaged by
flood waters shall not be more restrictive than that prescribed by the cabinet.
For purposes of county administrative regulations and ordinances relating to
floodplain management, "substantial improvement" as used in subsection (2) of this
section shall mean any combination of repairs, reconstruction, alteration, or
improvements to a structure taking place during a one (1) year period in which the
cumulative cost equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the
structure.
On March 29, 2000, for purposes of floodplain management, all property shall be
assessed by the property valuation administrator at one hundred percent (100%) of
its fair market value with no loss of value to land or structures incurred as a result of
any previous flood damage prior to March 29, 2000. The fair market value of a
structure shall be reestablished as that value calculated by the property valuation
administrator on or before December 30 of each year.
The provisions of subsections (3) and (4) of this section shall expire on December
31, 2002, unless reenacted by the local governing body. Nothing in this section shall
prohibit a county containing a city of the first class from amending its own
floodplain ordinance at any time.
