Flood Q & A
 

Why is my friend's rate higher than mine?

Lots of factors determine flood insurance rates. These include:

  • flood zone
  • amount of coverage
  • location of structure
  • age and design of structure
  • building occupancy
  • structure elevation if located in a Special Flood Hazard Area

But remember, rates are set by the federal government, not the insurance carrier, so your rates will be the same no matter where you buy.
