just so John understands
i am not trying to get out of paying for this coverage i want a fair rate & from the info y'all have provided i am not receiving a fair rate at all It is a fair rate. I'd like a fair rate from a roofer but hey material costs and labor ya no ain't free. Insurers pass on those same costs to high risk locations.

If you don’t have certified elevation certificate it can be worth the cost for premium savings. Basically shows how far above flood plain house actually is. Without one they just go off of the flood plane you are rated in based on worst part of your property. https://whatismyelevation.com/My house is at 666’. Should I be concerned?

Without one they just go off of the flood plane you are rated in based on worst part of your property. we have a recent survey thanks for the tip though A regular survey doesn’t necessarily establish elevation. Depending on results it can greatly reduce your premium. Also in years past, depending on zone, you can complete an elevation certificate which can reduce premiums. Basically you measure from the top of slab to the highest adjacent grade and then to the lowest adjacent grade.

its from pouring solid concrete in flood plains also This. When my son got married, they lived in a 5th wheel in Shady Oaks RV park just north of 380 over by Aubrey. Rain run off wasn't a problem until a new subdivision was built across the creek. Then water could come up to the top step on the trailer after a heavy rain.
He is truly a sick individual.

My house sits at 1100 feet, about 150 feet or so above the cypress creek that is out my front door. Always wondered how many feet above I was.

Our new place is pretty close to the flood plain but fortunately we're good for now. If I had to start paying $1k per month in insurance, I'd move for sure.
