Properties in designated flood zones may require mandatory flood insurance, which can significantly impact your monthly costs.

Flood zones can affect the future marketability of a property. Buyers may be cautious or hesitant if flood risk is a concern.

Flooding risks can vary due to changes in weather patterns, nearby developments, and infrastructure. Knowing the flood zone can help you plan appropriately.

Understanding the property's risks allows you to plan for mitigation measures if needed, such as elevation or drainage improvements.
