I also went to an online site that listed various companies and the cheapest about $800. So the cost was not the same. The cost has gone up a great deal. If you currently have flood insurance, they (I assume the feds) set a limit as to how much they can raise your premium each year. Regardless it is going to increase to pay for all the flooding that is occurring.
The Federal insurance benefit limit is $250K for the structure. Private insurers can offer higher limits of coverage.
