FEMA flood maps for Nueces County were recently revised

A Flood Insurance Rate Map draws the line around Special Flood Hazard Areas, the places with higher flood risk. If an address lands inside one of those zones, a lender may require flood insurance and the price can change.

FEMA released revised preliminary maps for Nueces County, including Corpus Christi, Bishop, and unincorporated areas. The maps were opened for public review, with an appeal window for owners who think a property was mapped incorrectly.

For a specific address, use FEMA's Flood Map Service Center. It is worth checking before buying a lot or starting a build.
