National Flood Insurance Program

Washoe County has been a member of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) since 1984 and is a local supporting partner for Federal Emergency Management Authority programs to prepare, prevent, and recovery from flood. 

Washoe County's membership in the National Flood Insurance Program makes available to residents federally-backed flood insurance for all structures, whether or not they are located within the floodplain. In addition, residents receive a discounted rate on flood insurance.

Please note, NFIP imposes a 30-day waiting period, residents should plan accordingly to ensure coverage during the flooding season.

Please read our sample letter about the mandatory purchase of flood insurance requirement that seeks to assist citizens with understanding floods, the floodplain, and flood insurance.
