Commercial garbage pickup has resumed as normally scheduled.  Residential garbage pickup (gray cans) has also resumed as normally scheduled.  We are focused on removal of vegetative debris as quickly as possible.  Please do not mix vegetative debris with any other debris, as this will cause significant delays to your vegetation being removed.  We expect to resume bulk trash and recycling pick-up the week of September 18. 

 For up-to-date information, publications and other resources
please refer to the local news and weather.

NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM 

The Town of Lake Park participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a federal program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that enables property owners to purchase insurance protection against flooding losses.  Since Lake Park properly manages a floodplain Ordinance, the Town’s home and business owners are eligible to participate in NFIP and are eligible for a discount on flood insurance. 

NFIP coverage is available to all owners of insurable property, including buildings and/or contents; owners and renters may insure their personal property; and builders of buildings in the course of construction, condominium associations, and owners of residential condominium units.  A policy may be purchased from any licensed property insurance agent or broker in good standing with the state or through any agent representing a Write Your Own (WYO) company.
