Home insurance in Atlanta, GA

Parts of Atlanta are in mapped flood zones, and flooding isn't covered by a standard policy. Here's what to check.

Flood risk in Atlanta

Flooding is not covered by a standard homeowners policy anywhere in the country — it is a separate policy. Whether you are required to carry it depends on the zone your address falls in.

FEMA's current mapping for the Atlanta area shows Zone AE alongside Zone X, which is the lower-risk designation.

Atlanta is in FEMA's Community Rating System at Class 6, which earns residents 20% off flood insurance in the high-risk zones. Most homeowners have never heard of this and it applies automatically.
