Are you required to have flood insurance by law?

NO, But if you live in a designated "Flood Zone" and have financed your home through a mortgage company, then it is probably part of your mortgage contract that you signed with your lender that you would maintain a flood insurance policy until you pay off the mortgage note. If you fail to purchase the required coverage you are in breach of contract with your mortgage lender. By law and by the terms of your mortgage agreement they can purchase it for you and add the cost to your monthly house payment. Failure or refusal to maintain the required coverage and pay for the cost of the flood insurance could be the first sign of an eventual foreclosure in the near future.

If the hazard insurance from your mortgage agreement was cancelled do you get a refund and the mortgage payments go down?

Mortgage insurance is required when you have less than 20% down or equity in your home. Once you reach that percentage of ownership, you can cancel the insurance. Hazard insurance is different. Most Morgagees (Lenders) have a clause that forces you to continually have hazard insurance without lapses or they will assign insurance for you. The assigned insurance generally is more expensive than all other alternatives. If you cancel your current hazard insurance you would likely receive a refund but it would be unwise to cancel without getting insurance from another company... and especially unwise to spend the money. Your payments would not go down, but likely up because of the assigned insurance.


Who makes flood insurance rate maps?

The flood insurance rate maps are created cooperatively by the National Flood Program and the governing city/county where the property is located. If you are looking to get a flood zone determination to see if you can be changed to a better zone, search the Internet for "flood zone determination companies". There is a cost for this service, but can save you hundreds on the cost of insurance. Another suggestion is to speak to your neighbors about their flood insurance. You may discover that changing to a mortgage company that does not require flood insurance may be the best solution.
