If you are new to flood insurance, you may be wondering how flood insurance rates are determined and what you can do to lower your rates. And if you're not new to flood insurance, you may wonder these things as well.

Insurance companies look at several factors when determining rates; they include the level of flood risk, type of coverage, building location, design, and age of the building, and all utilities' location.

If your property is located in zones B, C, and X, you are considered a low-level flood risk. You will end up paying less than those areas marked A or V. These areas are at higher risk for flooding, and properties located in those areas pay more for flood insurance.

If you are looking for property in high-risk areas, mortgage companies will not loan money unless you purchase flood insurance.

Whether you have content and property insurance, or just content insurance for those who rent will also determine how much you will pay for flood insurance. If you lease the building, you will only need content insurance, which will cost you less than those who own the building.

It may seem like common knowledge, but not many people know that as time goes on and the older your home gets, the higher your insurance rate will go up. In flood insurance, older pipes mean a higher risk for leaks and bursting, causing severe water damage to the property.

The utilities in your home, such as heating and cooling systems, water heaters, electrical panels, and others, should be elevated so that you can avoid paying extra for insurance.
