NAVIGATING THE FEMA 50% RULE FOR FLOOD ZONE HOME REPAIRS

After Hurricanes Helene and Milton, many Florida homeowners are navigating the FEMA 50% Rule for making repairs in flood zones. This rule limits property repairs to under 50% of the property’s market value before requiring additional compliance with current flood regulations. If repair costs exceed 50% of the market value, the structure is considered substantially damaged, and homeowners may need to bring the entire property up to current flood standards. Market value and repair cost calculations vary, so consulting local building departments is essential for accurate information. For more insights from one of our local expert attorneys, visit here.
