How does the annexation of land area between communities impact the availability of flood insurance?
When a participating community acquires (through annexation or otherwise) an area from a non-participating community, flood insurance becomes available on properties within the newly acquired area. When a non-participating community acquires an area from a participating community, no new flood insurance policies can be written on properties within the annexed area and existing policies cannot be renewed upon expiration unless and until the non-participating community joins the program.
