It depends on the state and municipality that you are looking to obtain an elevation certificate from. Generally, it will take between 1-2 weeks to process the request and mail out the certificate. Some states, such as Florida, offer an online application system that makes the process much faster - usually taking just a few days.

It depends on your location. Some counties offer same day service, while others may take a few weeks. To get an elevation certificate, you will need to provide proof of ownership or residency for the property in question. You will also need to provide a copy of the surveyor's report or plat map. Fees vary from county to county, so be sure to contact your local building authority for more information.
