Frequently asked
Arizona flood insurance questions
Straight answers to common questions about requirements, cost, and coverage.
Is flood insurance required in Arizona?
Arizona does not require every homeowner to buy flood insurance. A federally regulated or federally backed lender generally requires coverage for a secured building in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and another lender may require it based on its own risk rules. Owners can choose coverage even when a lender does not require it.
Does home insurance cover monsoon flooding?
Standard homeowners insurance generally does not cover flooding caused by rising surface water, including water from heavy monsoon rain that enters from outside. Some other types of storm damage may be treated differently depending on the cause. Review the homeowners and flood policies rather than assuming the word monsoon determines coverage.
What is an AO flood zone?
FEMA Zone AO identifies an area with a one-percent annual chance of shallow flooding, usually sheet flow on sloping terrain, with mapped average depths commonly from one to three feet. Some AO areas can have higher-velocity flow. Floodplain management standards apply, and lender flood-insurance requirements may apply to secured buildings.
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding?
Standard homeowners insurance generally excludes flooding caused by rising surface water. Review the policy language and compare separate flood coverage for the property.
