Flood insurance is not required by state law, but it is mandatory for properties in Special Flood Hazard Areas with a federally backed mortgage. Even outside high-risk zones, many agents recommend coverage because Canaan has flood risks from the Housatonic River and local streams.
What does a flood insurance agent do in Connecticut?
A flood insurance agent helps you assess your flood risk, choose a policy from the NFIP or a private carrier, and complete the application. They also explain waiting periods, coverage limits, and how Connecticut building codes affect premiums.
