Flood Insurance

All properties located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and secured by a federally backed mortgage, must carry flood insurance. The two types of flood insurance coverage are structural and contents coverage. Renters can buy contents coverage even if the owner does not insure the structure. To find out more about flood insurance contact any licensed insurance agent.

Policy Start Date
