Flood exposure can change from one street to the next, and two nearby homes may carry different insurance costs. Review the property’s FEMA flood map, elevation certificate if available, roof age, wind-mitigation report and property-specific insurance quotes before making a decision.

On waterfront and near-waterfront homes, ask for the seller’s flood disclosure and insurance history early in the process. Florida Statute 689.302 currently requires disclosure of flood risks to prospective purchasers.
