Florida Flood
Zones
Background
Flood zone mapping and
classification are the responsibility of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management
Agency). Based on the mapping, FEMA assigns flood
zone risk classifications to geographic areas. A
geographic area is designated as either high-risk or low-risk for
damage during a potential 100-year flood. It is
this classification information that mortgage companies use to
determine if a property owner must purchase flood insurance as a
condition of mortgage approval.
What most people do not know is that
when preparing flood zone maps, FEMA does not
map your specific home or business.
Instead, FEMA maps large geographic areas and all property
within an area carries the same flood zone risk
classification.
What We Do
In order to determine an exact flood
zone risk category for your home or business, Zone
Advisors does an individualized flood risk assessment. This
analysis includes an initial review of your specific property.
If after our initial review, we determine that your
property may not be accurately classified, we will undertake
the necessary steps to have it properly designated.
How You
Benefit
Once your property is correctly
classified by FEMA, you will no longer be required to buy flood
insurance. As a homeowner, this can save you hundreds of
dollars each year, which equates to thousands of dollars over the
term of your mortgage. Business property owners can save even
more.
And the best part is that our flood
zone assessment is done on a contingency fee basis. You pay us
only if we are successful in having your property
reclassified.
