- - Reporting of Storm and Flood Damage in the City of Holland The City of Holland is assessing the Private Damage to Homes and Businesses. Thousands of Homes and Businesses have sustained Flood damage, primarily due to basement flooding. There is no Local, State or Federal assistance known for the Private Damage to cover these losses. The only assistance potentially available for this private loss would be a Small Business Administration (SBA) Declaration, making Low Interest Loans available to victims. To qualify for this potential, Holland and Ottawa County will need to identify 25 or more homes or businesses that sustained a 40% or greater uninsured loss of the building structure only. This does not include personal property. Residents are encouraged to report this type of loss to the City of Holland at 355-1350 or visit the City Assessor’s office located on the first floor of City Hall at 270 South River Avenue, Holland, MI 49423.
