We have improved from a category 7 which previously offered you a 15% reduced rate on your flood insurance premium in the SFHA (Special Flood Hazard Area) and a 5% reduced rate in the non-SFHA areas to a category 6 which now affords you a 20% reduced rate on your flood insurance premium in the SFHA and 10% reduced rate in non-SFHA areas . The City works very hard for its citizens so they can receive benefits such as these so please contact your insurance agent to be sure you are receiving the discount that you so well deserve.
