Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need flood insurance if I live outside a flood zone in Ames?
You are not legally required to have flood insurance outside a FEMA-designated flood zone. However, heavy rainfall in Iowa can cause flash flooding, so many agents recommend a policy even for low-risk areas.
How does Iowa law affect flood insurance claims?
Iowa follows standard NFIP rules for claims. You must file a proof of loss within 60 days of the damage. A local agent can help you document your claim and meet all deadlines.
Can I buy flood insurance from any agent in Ames?
Yes, but only agents who are licensed in Iowa and appointed by an NFIP Write Your Own (WYO) company can sell NFIP policies. Private flood insurance is also available through licensed surplus lines agents.
