Can you cancel flood insurance and get a refund?

Charting Your Course: The Navigator’s Guide to Canceling Flood Insurance

Should you find yourself at the helm, determined to navigate the waters of cancellation, here’s your compass and map—step by step.

Step 1: Understanding the Winds (Reasons for Cancellation)

First, identify your bearing. Here are the 14 beacons that might signal a path to cancellation:

1. Property Sale or Removal: You’ve set sail from your property, or it’s no longer standing.
2. Contents Sale or Removal: The treasure chest is empty; your belongings have been sold or moved.
3. Policy Rewriting: Upgrading your map for a better journey ahead.
4. Duplicate NFIP Policies: Two maps, one destination—keep the best, discard the rest.
5. Non-Payment: The voyage can’t continue if the crew isn’t paid.
6. Ineligible Risk: Discovering your property is on safer lands than thought.
7. Property Closing Didn’t Occur: The deal to set sail fell through.
8. Lender’s Letter of No Requirement: Your financial backers decide the risk is lower than anticipated.
9. HOA RCBAP Policy Covers: Your crew is already insured by the homeowners’ association.
10. Mortgage Free: No more backers? No mandatory policy needed.
11. Voidance Before Effective Date: Found a better ship before setting sail.
12. Credit Card Error: A hiccup in payment methods.
13. FEMA or Lender’s Letter Post-Map Amendment: The map has changed, placing your property in safer waters.
14. Misrating or Wrong Address: The initial map was incorrect.

Step 2: Gathering Your Crew (Documents Needed)

Prepare your documents like a captain readies their ship. Depending on your reason, you’ll need:

• Proof of sale or removal of the property or contents.
• Documentation of policy rewrite or duplicate policies.
• Letters from your lender or FEMA regarding your flood risk.
• Proof of mortgage satisfaction.

Step 3: Setting Sail (Submitting Your Request)

With your documents in hand and a clear destination, it’s time to hoist the sails:

1. Contact Your Agent: The Flood Nerds are your first mate in this journey. Reach out to us with your reason and supporting documents.
2. Submit the Cancellation Request: We’ll help draft your cancellation letter, ensuring every detail is shipshape.
3. Await Confirmation: Like waiting for the tide, this might take a bit. But we’ll keep a lookout for you.
