What flood zone am I in for my Keys property?

Short Answer

Your flood zone is determined by FEMA flood maps and indicates the level of flood risk for your property. Most Keys properties are in Zone AE or Zone VE. Your specific designation affects insurance requirements and costs.

Every property in the Keys falls within a FEMA flood zone. Zone VE (coastal high hazard) and Zone AE are the most common. Your flood zone directly affects your insurance costs and building requirements. I always check the flood zone before recommending a property to my buyers.
