Is a flood determination required?

Answered by:

Question:

If our flood vendor provides us with a flood determination after a map change that reflects the new map date, does this mean we need to order a brand-new flood determination?

Answer:

No. You only need to obtain a new determination if you are making, increasing, renewing or extending a loan. In other words, if you have an existing loan and are notified of a map change, you don’t need to get a new determination. However, if the map change caused a property to now be in a Special Flood Hazard Area, you will need to provide a flood notification to the borrowers.
