Flooding is the most common and costliest natural disaster in the United States.
In fact, it is the #1 natural disaster. Only a few inches of flooding can cost thousands of dollars to repair. Risk levels may vary by zone, but you’re always at risk of flood damage.
Why Buy Flood Insurance?
If you live where it rains, it can flood.
98% of US counties have experienced a flooding event. From 2014-2018, all 50 states have experienced losses due to flood or flash flood.
The average cost of flood insurance is $53 a month. If you live in a low-to-moderate risk area, your premium could be even lower!
Times Are Changing
Historically, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) was the only source for flood insurance. Recently, more private flood products have become available. This is good for you as a homeowner as the NFIP has limitations including a $250,000 replacement cost, no loss of use coverage, limited other structure coverage, 30 day waiting periods, and costly elevation certificate requirements. The new private flood markets are very competitive and they want your business!

Flood damage can be devastating and most flood losses are NOT covered by your standard home or business property insurance policy. Whether you are located in a flood zone that requires you to carry flood insurance or if you are located in a zone where coverage is optional, virtually every property in Florida should carry flood insurance to protect against the damage caused by rising bodies of water.
Different flood policy fees apply to investment property than to primary residences so additional documentation demonstrating a property is your primary residence is required to qualify for the lower fees.
If your property is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), an elevation certificate issued by a licensed property surveyor is required to provide an accurate flood insurance quotation. Flood is specifically rated based on your building elevations in relation to neighboring properties.
There are a few areas designated as Coastal Barrier Resource Areas (CBRA) within Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe. Properties located in these areas are ineligible for the National Flood Insurance Program however flood insurance can be secured through other markets such as Lloyds of London syndicates.
