Treasure Island FAQ

Common questions about permits, flood compliance, and construction in Treasure Island.

What makes Treasure Island's flood exposure so high?

Treasure Island is a barrier island between the Gulf of Mexico and Boca Ciega Bay with approximately 65% SFHA coverage. Zone VE along the Gulf beachfront is subject to wave action in addition to flooding. Zone AE covers most of the island interior. Storm surge from a major hurricane can overtop the entire island.

What flood permits does MKC handle in Treasure Island?

MKC handles floodplain development permits, substantial improvement analysis, elevation certificate coordination, and V-Zone certifications for Treasure Island projects. We work directly with the City of Treasure Island's Building Department and floodplain administrator.

How does the 50% rule apply to Treasure Island vacation rental properties?

The substantial improvement (50%) rule applies to all structures in flood zones regardless of use — including vacation rentals. MKC tracks renovation costs relative to pre-work property values and structures projects to maintain compliance. Exceeding the threshold triggers full elevation requirements.

Can MKC elevate a Treasure Island home?

Yes. Home elevation is common on Treasure Island as insurance costs rise and flood risk awareness grows. MKC manages the full process — structural engineering, permits, and construction — including elevation of existing structures on new pilings or other compliant foundation systems.

Does MKC work on Treasure Island commercial properties?

Yes. Treasure Island's beach commercial corridor and hospitality properties are within our service area. We handle renovation permits, flood compliance for commercial structures, and construction coordination for island businesses.
