An opportunity for lower-cost flood insurance for property owners whose buildings were newly mapped into a high-risk area from October 1, 2008, to April 1, 2015, will expire on March 31, 2016. Likewise, uninsured property owners for buildings in high-risk areas that were built in the County before August 19, 1985 may face higher rates starting April 1 if they have had a flood insurance policy for their building in the past and didn’t renew it. In either scenario, property owners need to have a policy effective by March 31 to maximize their savings. There is typically a 30-day waiting period, so that means they need to be paying for it no later than March 1st.

The City of Prescott and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have completed a comprehensive Physical Map Revision (PMR) of the flood hazard area along the creeks within and surrounding the City of Prescott. It also includes some unincorporated portions of Yavapai County. These detailed maps will help property owners better understand their current flood risk and help them make more informed decisions about how to protect family and property in the event of a flood. The new FIRMs will be effective in the fall of 2016, and at that time, if you have a loan, your mortgage lender will be informed of your property’s new flood zone status.
