Land plus build, Montgomery County

Hi {{first_name}},

{{shortlist_lot_1_situs}} is in FEMA zone {{flood_zone}}, {{flood_pct_of_lot}} of the lot

The county flood record puts {{shortlist_lot_1_situs}} in FEMA zone {{flood_zone}} with {{flood_pct_of_lot}} of the lot inside it (map dated {{flood_map_date}}), and that does not take the lot off the table. A flood zone changes your pad elevation, your insurance and what your lender requires, and then you decide with real numbers.

Here is what to ask, lot by lot:

Which zone is it? The FEMA map shows the zone for the lot. A lot partly in a zone is common.
Where can the house sit? Sometimes the buildable area is on the high side of the lot.
What does the lender require? A lot in a mapped zone usually means flood insurance on the loan.
What did the builder assume? Elevation and fill belong in the quote.

Get an insurance quote on the specific address before you offer, because it is a monthly cost you carry for as long as you own the house.

Flood zone on record for {{shortlist_lot_1_situs}}
FEMA zone: {{flood_zone}}
Share of the lot in the zone: {{flood_pct_of_lot}}
Map source and date: {{flood_map_date}}

Zone maps change. We pull the current record each time and tell you when it has moved.

Reply and we will pull the flood record
