Of course, it’s in a flood zone.
The entire state of Florida is a flood zone. Clearly, some areas are at higher risk to flood more frequently than others. Get flood insurance and live your life.

There are some home policies that will include flood endorsement on policy. Do you know what flood zone you are in?
Call Clifford Insurance at 352-245-5455 or Frank Slaughter Insurance at 352-748-2221 in Wildwood. |

The connotation of the word “flooding” is often damage. There was essentially no damage to homes and businesses. The golf courses, which did their job, needed cleanup to be playable again.

I'll assume you're exaggerating to make a point. It's not even close to being literally true.

Didn’t have to have anyone inform us when we looked at a lot in CC, it was clear that until there was a track record it’s a flood zone. The entire area is built between wetlands. The cost of flood was not a big deal, the bugs for the first few years was the bigger problem

Here is an article from the Tampa Bay Times written 14 months ago titled "In Florida, home sellers don’t have to disclose a history of flooding Texas now requires sellers to disclose past flooding when marketing their house. Florida has no such law"

I had an interesting thought, the "flood plain maps" are probably a few (several) years old, depending on what the developer di with landscaping the current elevation may actually be a few feet higher and could make all the difference. The OP might be able to get a surveyor to determine the exact CURRENT elevation of the land and then compare that to what is reported in the flood plain maps, he may be able to make a case that the maps are out of date.

I was impressed by the fact that most of The Villages did NOT have flooding during Hurricane Irma. All of the things put in place worked. They lowered the ponds by running the sprinklers in the common areas and they then deliberately allowed their own golf courses to flood to save people's homes. I thought it worked like a CHARM. I was even astonished the golf courses recovered after a month or two.

The agent should let you transfer the 20% to a different lot, just ask.

My home isn’t in a flood zone, but there is one a hundred feet away. I carry flood insurance. That and hurricane insurance nearly doubles the cost of my insurance, but it makes me feel safer. Buying it makes more sense than buying a home alarm system. |
