  • Note: Rates calculated for properties without basements. Pre-FIRM rates are for valid properties built prior to the first floodplain regulations in 1969. Premium net present value (NPV) calculated into perpetuity assuming constant premium rates, yearly payments, and a discount rate of 3%. Post-FIRM payments calculated assuming property has one flood and that the flood is at the same elevation as the base flood elevation. FIRM, Flood Insurance Rate Map; SFHA, Special Flood Hazard Area.
