Lastly, I am sure you have heard about “re-mapping”.  Last we checked, re-mapping has been slightly delayed.  We are being told that local communities will receive tentative map results by the end of 2015.  Each community will have a time period where they can verify and/or dispute the new maps.  Once this process is complete, new maps should be issued an in effect in late 2016.  Now we are dealing with the federal government here so more delays are bound to happen…
