As a homeowner, it's important to insure your home and its contents. Depending on your property's location, your home is either considered at high risk or at moderate to low risk for a flood. Your flood insurance premium will vary based on your risk.
Flood insurance isn't federally required in moderate- to low-risk areas, but it's still a good idea. In fact, people in these areas file more than 20 percent of all National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance claims. Most homeowners in moderate- to low-risk areas can get coverage at a reduced rate. Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) premiums, the lowest premiums available through the NFIP, offer building and contents coverage for one low price. If you don't qualify for a PRP, a standard-rated policy is still available.
If you live in a high-risk area, you are required to purchase flood insurance if you have a mortgage through a federally regulated or insured lender. A standard-rated policy offers separate building and contents coverage.
The Dwelling Policy Form provides insurance for buildings with one to four units, including single-family condominium units and townhouses. The General Property Policy Form provides insurance for other residential and commercial buildings. Both forms offer the option of insuring the building's contents.
Premiums are calculated based on factors such as:
