According to the National Flood Insurance Program, 25% of all flood claims are on properties NOT located in flood zones.

f you are not located in a Flood Zone, your policy will not be very costly. For example, a Preferred Risk policy for up to $250,000 house with $100,000 contents coverage can cost as little as $355 a year.

From the NFIP website:

Residents of High-Risk Areas

Homes and buildings in high-risk flood areas with mortgages from federally regulated or insured lenders are required to have flood insurance. These areas have a 1% or greater chance of flooding in any given year, which is equivalent to a 26% chance of flooding during a 30-year mortgage.

Residents of Moderate-to-Low Risk Areas

Homes and businesses located in moderate-to-low risk areas that have mortgages from federally regulated or insured lenders are typically not required to have flood insurance. However, flood insurance is highly recommended because 25% of all flood claims occur in moderate-to-low risk flood areas.

A lender can require flood insurance, even if it is not federally required.


If you are on the top of a mountain, you may not need a NFIP policy.

Well, that may just be true, but this thread is about flood insurance.
