Flood insurance is priced per building. If the home is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area and you have a mortgage, the lender requires flood insurance. Check the address before you offer:
- Put the address into FEMA's Flood Map Service Center. It shows the zone on the effective map. Beaufort County's maps took effect March 23, 2021 (FEMA Community Information System data dated Aug 13, 2026, as cited in our Oct 9, 2026 flood guide).
- Check the same parcel on Beaufort County's public GIS mapping app for flood layers and parcel lines.
- Ask the seller for an elevation certificate, or ask the county for one on file. Questions go to the county floodplain manager at (843) 255-2065 (county flood-maps page, read Oct 10, 2026).
- Get a flood insurance quote before your option period ends. Premiums are priced per building under Risk Rating 2.0, so a neighbor's bill doesn't tell you yours. Full walkthrough: flood zones and flood insurance.
Homeowners insurance is a separate quote. Start with our Beaufort homeowners insurance guide. A free valuation, if you're selling, is on the home valuation page.
