Things You Should Know

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has determined that the City of Tamarac has achieved a Class 6 rating in the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS). This means that NFIP policies issued or renewed for properties in the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) beginning October 1, 2011 will receive a (20%) twenty percent premium discount. Only 16% of communities in Florida are Class six or better.

NOTE: The updated FEMA maps are reportedly scheduled to be finished with the appeals process in the early Summer of 2013. Which means they should be Effective by the late Fall of 2013. This page will be updated as new information is obtained. This update was provided on April 5, 2013.
