Yes. Ottawa appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Ottawa, village of, community 390472, carrying Community Rating System class 9, which is a premium discount for exceeding the program minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Ottawa figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Putnam County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Ottawa.
Is zoning published for Ottawa?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
