San Antonio, Texas Area Flood Insurance
|
|
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. San
Antonio, Texas area flood insurance is also available to renters,
condominium owners, and co-op owners.

San Antonio, TX Flood Perils Include:
|
|
Unusual & rapid accumulation of runoff or surface
waters from any source
|
|
Overflow of inland or tidal waters

|
|
The two primary types of San Antonio area flood insurance
policies are listed below.
|
|
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. San Antonio, 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.
|
|
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
San Antonio, 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.
