Flood Information


The Town of Ocean Ridge has been verified as a Class 6 in the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS).  NFIP policies issued or renewed for properties in the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) will receive a 20% premium discount. 

The NFIP is a Federal program enabling property owners to purchase insurance protection against losses from flooding.  This insurance is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods.

Many people do not realize that homeowner's insurance does not cover losses due to flooding.  Informing yourself about flood protection is very important for protecting your family, possessions, and home.  The following information and links are provided to assist you in increasing your awareness about flood protection.  Additionally, the County Library System provides flood protection information, and maintains copies on the flood insurance rate maps for the entire county along with explanations on their use to determine flood zones and elevations.   Elevation certificates in the floodplain may be available at Town Hall.  Please call the Building Department at 561-732-2635 to inquire about a particular property or for more information.
