Part of my property is in flood zone A. Part of it floods every now and then with heavy rains along a creek. By our state laws if any part of your property is in a flood zone you need a elevation survey even if your house is on a part of your land that is not in a flood zone. LSU puts out the map the state; insurance; banks use. It's pretty accurate at least for my property.
Went threw it a few years ago when my daughter moved a mobile home on the property. Got several quotes in the $600 to $800 range because they needed to come out at least twice. Once to mark grade and then again once the home was installed to make sure it was high enough. Some wanted to shoot a grade from the corner stone 3 miles up the road. Some would bring out a GPS machine and then download info back at the shop to tell grade.
By FEMA 2012 rules every thing that is built new in a flood zone is suppose to be elevated above the flood grade. I found a retired surveyor to do it for $500. He had a machine that worked off GPS so he just set up in the yard and the machine told him instantly what grade he was at.
No way is a surveyor signing anything unless he actually does the work.
