The following criterion was used for calculating example premiums: Pre-FIRM, single family structure, no basement or enclosures, $1,000 deductible building and $1,000 deductible contents. Note: if your community participates in the Community Rating System (CRS), your premium may be even lower.

The CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. As a result, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community actions. To learn more about CRS and to see if your community participates, go to FEMA’s CRS Web page, at http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/crs.shtm.

Buildings that are Post-FIRM, require the use of an elevation certificate for rating. Property owners always reserve the right to purchase an elevation certificate, which may potentially reduce their flood insurance premium. Please contact a licensed insurance agent for further information.

Note: Single-family dwellings that are primary residences and insured to the maximum amount of insurance available under the program or no less than 80% of the replacement cost at the time of loss may qualify for replacement cost claim settlement. All other buildings and contents will be adjusted based on their Actual Cash Value (depreciated cost). Please refer to the policy for further explanation and requirements.
