The property is located in an area protected by a levee; unfortunately, FEMA has stated that they don't believe the levee would protect against a 100-year flood, and thus is still considered high-risk.Given the house was built in 1875 and apparently survived the area's worst flood in 1937, as well as others, and given that the levee apparently protects against all but the worst floods, I'm thinking of simply skipping flood insurance.

In fact, you would probably have a better chance of winning the bid if you did (because the agent would be positioned to make double the commission)!
