Flood insurance is valuable coverage to have! The cost of flood insurance in
New York
is about $1,200 per year.
That said, several factors influence your flood insurance rate. One thing that can have a big impact on your flood insurance cost is whether you live within a flood zone. If your area is at a high risk of flooding, you’ll likely see a higher premium.
Another aspect of flood insurance costs is the extent of protection you choose for your property and your belongings. You can find
flood insurance
policies for both homeowners through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private company.
When getting home insurance, you can ask whether your provider also offers flood insurance policies.
