Why Flood Zones (or lack thereof) Are Important

But what does Living Dunes not being within a flood zone really mean to you and why does it matter? Many Myrtle Beach homeowners live on land or within a community that is mapped as a current flood zone and by law, federally regulated mortgage lenders require flood insurance for properties with a high risk of flooding because standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover the damage. For many homeowners, living within a flood zone means home insurance policies that are impacted with pricey premiums due in part to the amount of damage that is likely to be caused to one’s home in the event of a flood.
