Houston, TX Flood Insurance Information

Even though flood insurance is relatively inexpensive, most
homeowners do not choose to purchase the insurance protection
available. According to the Federal Insurance Administration, less
than one-quarter of the homes in areas most vulnerable are insured
against flood loss. In those areas, flooding is 24 times more likely to
occur than a fire during the course of a typical 30 year mortgage.

A standard homeowners insurance policy will not cover damages
caused by flooding. You must have flood insurance from an insurer
that writes for the National Flood Insurance Program. If your
community participates in a floodplain management program, you
should be eligible to buy the coverage no matter if your flood risk is
low, medium or high. Residents of "coastal barrier areas" and
communities that do not participate in floodplain management
programs may have trouble finding flood insurance coverage.
Houston, Texas area flood insurance is also available to renters,
condominium owners, and co-op owners.

Houston, TX Flood Perils Include:

Unusual & rapid accumulation of runoff or surface
waters from any source

Overflow of inland or tidal waters

Mud slides caused by flooding

The washing away, collapse, or subsiding of land along
the shoreline due to erosion or undermining of waves or
currents exceeding the cyclical levels

Sewer backup caused by flooding

Outside of fire, flooding is the most widespread natural disaster.
According to the National Flood Insurance Program, two adjacent
properties have to be under water to call the situation a flood. In a
rural area, at least 2 acres must be submerged.

The two primary types of Houston area flood insurance
policies are listed below.

Actual Cash Value Policy

The value of property as figured by determining the cost to replace
the damaged or destroyed property and adjusting the replacement
value by subtracting an amount that reflects depreciation. Or in
other words, replacement cost minus depreciation. Houston, TX
area homeowners are entitled to a replacement cost value if they
live in their homes at least 80% of the time and have flood
insurance coverage for at least 80% of their home's market value.

Commercial and apartment buildings will be covered only for actual
cash value.

Replacement Value Policy

The amount it costs to replace or rebuild a damaged property.
Replacement cost coverage is available only for the building
portion of a condominium insurance policy. Owners of single-
family homes may be able to buy replacement cost coverage on
the building portions of their flood insurance policies. A Houston,
TX area flood insurance replacement value policy will pay only the
replacement value up to the coverage limit. For example, if
rebuilding your home will cost $400,000, but you only purchased
$300,000 in coverage, your insurance policy will pay you only
$300,000.
