FAQ Friday: Do I Need Flood Insurance

Do you need flood insurance when you purchase a home in Pinellas County, FL? That really depends on where you purchase, if you have a mortgage, and the level of risk you are willing to have.

There are really a lot of factors that go into flood insurance rates. For example, sometimes the lot may be in a higher risk flood zone, but the house itself is in a lower one. It's always best to speak to an expert rather than possibly spend more money than necessary or risk your investment altogether.
