Question:

What elevation is used when rating a structure for a flood insurance policy?


Answer:

The difference between the lowest floor elevation (including basement) of your structure and the 1-percent annual chance flood elevation is used to determine the insurance rating.

Note: Buildings and structures are insurable. The National Flood Insurance Program does not insure land.
