Flood Insurance Information

Harris County Flood Control says "If you live in Harris County, anywhere in Harris County, you live in a flood plain." Some of our neighbors had no idea that flood insurance wasn't included in their homeowner insurance policy. Since it is the official beginning of Hurricane Season - here's what you need to know.

The NFIP, a federal program, offers flood insurance, which can be purchased through property and casualty insurance agents. Rates are set and do not differ from company to company or agent to agent. These rates depend on many factors, which include the date and type of construction of your home, along with your building’s level of risk.
Here's a link to where you can buy flood insurance in Texas. http://www.fema.gov/nfipInsurance/search_results.jsp

Hope this helps!
