River Bank

Repetitive Loss Elevation Assistance

The borough of Oakland may be able to assist those residents whose homes have experienced frequent “repetitive loss” or “severe repetitive loss” flooding and who wish to elevate those structures. The cost of elevating the home may be repaid by the homeowner over a 10-year assessment period. Anyone interested in participating in this program is asked to contact the Flood Commission or call (201) 337-8111 ext. 2040.
