Those that pay Flood Insurance???

What towns do you live in and how much do you pay on top of your homeowners' insurance?

Re: Those that pay Flood Insurance???

Flood zones areas tend to be costly and esp if you are required to cover ur house at the $250k max coverage.
A policy can run around $1600/a yr...give or take.

I live in Farmingdale. It use to flood in the 50's and 60's but not anymore. It is included in our home owners policy and for everything we pay I think $775.

Just out of curiosity...who are you insured with? Most if not all HO companies are excluding flood.

Flood insurance is always a separate insurance policy. It's offered through the Gov'ts National Flood Insurance Program but, is written by different insurance companies (two of the largest are State Farm and Allstate).

I know that, but the poster said she has it covered under her HO policy.

Re: Those that pay Flood Insurance???

FLOOD is not covered under a home policy, ever.

The previous poster I believe had an endorsement that covered her water loss...which isnt necessarily flood. Why she was covered. SHe is also in CT which can change things a bit. Every state is different.

Flood ins is only issued through an ins company like SF or Allstate etc and provided by FEMA.

Again...I understand that...it's the Farmingdale poster...
Hence...the question.

I do work in insurance and understand SF, Allstate, Travelers...flood carriers...through FEMA.

Re: Those that pay Flood Insurance???

im pretty sure Seles81 doesnt need flood insurance,its probably an optional coverage thing.
my mom's house in fdale doesnt need it. i grew up in fdale, ive never seen floods, except when everyone's basement flooded like two years ago.
