properties secured by a federally backed mortgage (FHA, VA, FNMA, etc.) must carry flood insurance so it’s important to buy flood insurance before the floodwaters start to rise.

the greatest risk of flooding, called Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). The NFIP makes federally backed flood insurance available in communities that agree to adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. The Community Rating System (CRS) is a program developed by the Federal Insurance Administration to provide incentives for NFIP communities that implement more stringent flood plain management standards than the minimum NFIP requirements. The CRS rewards these efforts with discounts on
and currently holds a Class 7 CRS rating. This classification equates to a 15% discount on new or renewed flood insurance policies. There are approximately 25,438 flood insurance policies in the City of Pompano Beach. Annually, the City’s CRS Class 7 rating will generate approximately $1,423,740 in savings on flood premiums for you, our valued residents, and businesses. The City was recently awarded the Class 7 rating in June 2012 and all policies in high hazard flood zones will enjoy a 15% discount when renewed.
