Flood Law and Congress

The United States Congress maintains a law which requires all properties within the 100-year floodplain that are purchased with a federally backed mortgage to carry flood insurance.

Such federally backed loans include:

  • FHA
  • VA
  • FmHA (Rural Development / Department of Agriculture)
  • Subsidy Mortgages (state and Federal)

Others are possible…

Be certain that your home is properly insured, whether privately or federally. A flood can wipe away everything.
