Find the ground elevation for any Greater Houston address, measured from the USGS LiDAR survey.
Free lookup. No account required. Greater Houston coverage.
How high your land sits is one of the most basic facts about a property, and it is almost never on a listing. This free tool returns the ground elevation for any Greater Houston address from the USGS LiDAR survey, the same elevation data used in professional flood analysis.
The elevation is read from the USGS 3DEP LiDAR survey of the Texas coast, with a typical accuracy of about one to two feet. It reflects the bare ground at the location and may not capture fill, grading, or construction added after the survey.
On its own, an elevation figure does not tell you whether a home is at risk. What matters is how that elevation compares to the modeled flood line and to nearby flooding history. The full Floodfolio report puts the elevation next to the flood line, Harvey, and claim history in one place.

No. This is a LiDAR-derived ground elevation estimate, not a licensed survey or a FEMA Elevation Certificate. If you need a certificate for insurance or permitting, a licensed surveyor provides one.
LiDAR coverage spans most, but not all, of the Greater Houston area. A small number of addresses fall outside the surveyed area, and the tool says so rather than guess.
