@Aaron K. and @Claire Rosenberg all properties are in a flood zone the only differentiator with the flood zones is the "high-risk" flood zones is your lender will require flood insurance in order to get the funds.This is a law.These flood zones are identified with a Flood zone A, Flood zone AE or V, VE.Lenders do not need to require flood insurance in low-to-moderate risk flood zones usually identified as an X flood zone.It doesn't mean that the property will not flood it just simply means that you will not be "required by your lender" to purchase a flood insurance policy.Every year 20% and in some estimates 35% of flooding events are in the "considered low risk" flood zones.The purpose of all insurance (including flood) is to off set your risk this is why you buy a hazard (or homeowners policy) or umbrella policy or auto policy and of course life insurance.But flood insurance is the one that most people decided that they do not need, and many think that their homeowner policy will cover flooding.
