Flood insurance has different rates, depending on how close your property is to a flood zone. The most common rating areas include:
Other pricing factors include foundation type (basement, slab, on-piers, etc.)
Also, the deductible, and building and contents limits. On some policies, elevation compared to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is considered.
Policies are issued through the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) with the same pricing throughout the US, with no adjustment for risk exposure based on severity or frequency by region or territory, unfortunately, for WNY. Flood policies are annual and must be paid in full. Generally, there is a 30 day waiting period before coverage is effective.
