How flood determination levels play a part in flood insurance prices is a frequent question we answer. Along with how much will I pay for flood insurance? Do flood insurance levels matter? While differently worded, the answer is the same. The higher your flood risk, the more you will pay for flood insurance. Insurance companies use flood maps to determine flood insurance costs. The letters A and V represent high-risk areas on the flood map. Where low to moderate risk is letters B, C and X.
Where you decide to purchase your flood insurance is another factor in prices. Flood insurance through the NFIP is less expensive than private insurance companies. However, if your home is worth more than $250,000, it's best to go with a private insurance company. Homes in high-risk flood areas must have flood insurance before a mortgage is released.
