The Community Rating System (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/national-flood-insurance-program/community-rating-system.

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: Replacement Cost Coverage is not available for non-residential buildings or contents. All claims will be settled using Actual Cash Value (depreciated cost). Business interruption is NOT an available coverage in the National Flood Insurance Program.

PRIMARY RESIDENCE DISCLAIMER


For flood insurance rating purposes, a primary residence is a building that will be lived in by the insured or the insured's spouse for at least 80 percent of the 365 days following the policy effective date. If the building will be lived in for less than 80 percent of the policy year, it is considered to be a non-primary residence.
