Why Flood Zone Status Matters
Flood Zones Aren’t Just FEMA Paperwork. They Affect Everything About a Property.
Flood zones aren’t just FEMA paperwork. They affect everything about a property:
- Insurance: Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) require flood insurance — often thousands per year.
- Financing: Lenders require flood insurance. Some won’t lend on severely flood-prone properties.
- Construction: Buildings in flood zones must meet elevation requirements, which add significant cost.
- Resale: Properties in flood zones sell slower and for less than comparable non-flood-zone properties.
- Insurability: Some flood zones (especially VE) are difficult or impossible to insure.
