Beginning
April 1, 2016, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) began implementing
additional flood insurance program changes resulting from reform legislation
sought by the National Association of REALTORS and other interested parties.
These changes may significantly affect what your clients pay for their flood
insurance. While some property owners may see minimal policy cost increases,
others will experience larger premium increases, such as clients with buildings
in high-risk areas built before that community’s first Flood Insurance Rate Map
(pre-FIRM). An online toolkit can be
found
here. You can also find more details in the recent
Program
Changes NFIP Bulletin.
