Changes To Flood Insurance Rate Map

FEMA_logoOn October 16, the Maricopa County Flood Insurance Rate Map will be undergoing some changes. These changes will affect the rates of some homes designated for flood insurance coverage, as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

  • General rules
  • Lending Requirements
  • Definitions and policy coverage
  • Basic elements of a rating
  • Policy forms
  • Biggert-Waters Floor Insurance Reform Act 2012
  • Flood Maps and Flood Zones
  • FEMA Resources
