Flood risk in Arlington

Flood risk in Arlington

Flooding is not covered by a standard homeowners policy anywhere in the country — it is a separate policy. Whether you are required to carry it depends on the zone your address falls in.

FEMA's current mapping for the Arlington area shows Zone AE, Zone A alongside Zone X, which is the lower-risk designation.

Arlington is in FEMA's Community Rating System at Class 5, which earns residents 25% off flood insurance in the high-risk zones. Most homeowners have never heard of this and it applies automatically.

Arlington earns a 25% community discount on flood premiums, and most people who qualify have never been told. Worth confirming you are getting it.
