Lenders require flood insurance on a federally backed mortgage when the building is in one of FEMA's high-risk zones, the ones starting with A or V. The map that sets those zones in Naples took effect on February 8, 2024. Outside those zones insurance is optional, but claims come from moderate- and low-risk zones too, so it's worth checking the zone and the floor height of the exact home.
The flood map in effect for Naples took effect on February 8, 2024. The city's first flood map dates to July 2, 1971. FEMA has released preliminary maps for parts of Collier County; they don't change insurance requirements until they're adopted and take effect.
The City of Naples is in FEMA's Community Rating System at Class 5, which takes 25% off National Flood Insurance Program premiums for policies inside the high-risk flood zone. Classes run from 10 to 1, and each step down adds 5% off.
By National Flood Insurance Program claims filed in Naples, the worst recent storms were Hurricane Ian 2022 (2,927 claims, 2,238 paid), Hurricane Irma 2017 (390 claims, 175 paid), and Hurricane Milton 2024 (324 claims, 258 paid).
