Frequently asked questions
Is flood insurance required?
Lenders require it if you're in a high-risk flood zone. Even if not required, it's wise because homeowners insurance excludes flood damage.
What affects flood insurance cost?
Your home's flood risk, elevation, coverage amount, and deductible. Newer homes built above base flood elevation may get lower rates.
How can I lower my premium?
Choose a higher deductible, raise your coverage limits wisely, and ask about discounts for flood mitigation like raised utilities or flood vents.
