Base flood elevation (BFE) is the elevation of surface water near our home. It is important to know our BFE to know what flood zone we are in and what coverage we should get in case of a flood. In this video, we talk about how to consider base flood elevation when picking or building our home for us to avoid being overcharged affecting our flood insurance rate.

Flood Insurance has a lot of requirements especially when it comes to documents. One of the most important things to have is an elevation certificate.
