Flood insurance changes as Announced by FEMA
The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act passed by Congress last year slowed down the most dramatic premium increases for federal flood policies, but costs still will rise for homeowners who renew their coverage or get a new policy beginning this month. All National Flood Insurance Program policies Premiums for all policies will go up by an average of about 10 percent, though the rates will vary based on the age of the property, elevation and other risk factors.
Additionally, primary homes get a $25 surcharge while second homes and commercial properties get a $250 surcharge. Subsidized policies on older properties Primary homes built before the mid-1970s will see about a 14 percent increase on average with a hard cap of 18 percent for annual policy costs.
Second homes will see rate increases as high as 24 percent and total policy costs up to 37 percent, including all fees and surcharges.
Business properties will see similar increases.
