When applying for flood insurance, there are five documents that may need to be submitted to the insurance company, including:

  1. Elevation certificate: This is a document that shows the elevation of a property relative to the base flood elevation (BFE) in the area. It helps determine the flood risk of the property and the appropriate insurance rate.
  2. Property information: This includes information such as the address, property type, construction type, number of floors, and square footage.
  3. Proof of ownership: This includes documents such as a deed, mortgage statement, or property tax bill that show ownership of the property.
  4. Insurance history: This includes information about any previous flood insurance policies, as well as other insurance policies for the property.
  5. Payment information: This includes payment for the flood insurance policy, which may be paid annually or as a lump sum.
It is important to note that the specific documents required may vary depending on the insurance company and the state in which the property is located. It is best to check with the insurance company or an insurance agent for the exact requirements.
