Premium Examples For A $100,000
If you own a home in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, you are eligible for flood insurance. Nearly 19,000 communities participate, so its likely that your community does participate.
There are many factors that affect the price you'll pay for flood insurance. The higher your flood risk, the higher the premium. If you purchase $100,000 in building coverage for your home, your annual premium will vary depending on the area in which you live.
- If the property is located near the ocean and therefore subject to storm surge and hurricane damage, your building is most likely in a V Zone. Premiums is V zones can be more than $1,000 annually because your home is in the highest risk area.
- If the property is located near a river, lake or stream, your building is probably in an A zone. Premiums in A zones can be about $595 annually because of the high potential for flooding.
- If the property is located in a low-risk area, referred to as B, C, X or A99 zones, your premium could be as low as $306 annually using standard rates. You may also be able to get the Preferred Risk Policy. Below are annual premiums for $100,000 of flood insurance coverage for a residential single family home:
