(Get all your answers from an expert and find the coverage you need.)
Q: How much does flood insurance cost?
A: There’s no clear-cut answer to this question. There are a few factors that will determine the cost of your flood insurance including:
- Location: If you live in a high-risk flood zone, the cost of coverage will understandably be higher. If you live in a low-risk flood zone, the cost will likely be a lot less.
- Type of coverage: Flood policies can cover buildings, personal belongings, or both. If you opt for more coverage, the cost of your policy will understandably be more expensive.
That being said, the cost of your policy could be high if you live in a high-risk area and opt for comprehensive coverage of all property or low if you live in a low-risk area and just pay for personal belonging coverage. However, it’s worth noting that the national average premium is below $1,000 for a flood policy, even in high-risk areas.
