A floodplain development permit must be obtained prior to any new construction, remodel, major repairs, or excavation to property located within the floodplain. Floodplain permits help reduce flood losses, hazards, and related adverse effects caused by the occupancy of flood hazard areas and the cumulative effect of obstructions in the floodplain. The City of Bettendorf has adopted a Floodplain Ordinance: Title 13 Flood Control. If you have questions about floodplain development regulations, please contact the Planning Division at 563-344-4100 or email Planning@bettendorf.org.
