Explanation
Properties in FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA, or 100-year floodplain) must have flood insurance as a condition of federally backed mortgages (FHA, VA, conventional conforming loans). This requirement is mandated by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Properties in SFHAs face elevated flood risk and insurance requirements.
