    Let\’s see – who decides if your house is in danger of flooding – the Army Corps of Engineers (pretty smart folks).

    Everyone is in a flood zone – just some are in more hazardous zones than others (known as Special Flood Hazard Areas).

    Check the gradfather rules and get flood now (while it\’s cheap) before the rezoning – then coverage will remain cheap (as long as coverage was purchased before the remapping and there has been no lapse in coverage).

    When you build – zones change.
