Flood Plain Liability???

[Jordan White]

I have the opportunity to purchase a lot in a flood plain. I intend to put a mh on this lot and rent it out. I know texas requires land lords to have a flood disclosure. Other than informing the tenants of a flood plain and recommending flood and renters insurance, can I be liable for anything flood related, damage, loss, death etc.? TIA

I'm an engineer here in San Antonio and want to make sure you understand some of the issues you may run into. You will need to build the property finish floor elevation above the floodplain elevation. So I would recommend you contact a civil engineer and assess the land to determine if it's even buildable. I wouldn't mind helping you with that if you want some help.
