Jax Water Damage Hub

Jacksonville Flood Zones and Flood Claims by ZIP

FEMA keeps a record of every National Flood Insurance Program claim. This page counts the claims and the dollars paid for each residential Jacksonville ZIP code, beside the age of the homes there, so you can see where flood water has reached insured buildings before. It also explains how to look up the official flood zone for your own address.

Updated

Find your flood zone first

  1. Type your address into the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see the official flood map panel and zone.
  2. For a zone determination or a copy of an Elevation Certificate on file, contact City of Jacksonville Floodplain Management (floodplain coordinator, (904) 255-8366). The city lists a review time of 7 to 10 business days for certificates.
  3. The city holds a Class 6 rating in FEMA's Community Rating System, and says Duval sees coastal, inland and river flooding.

What these numbers can and can't tell you

NFIP flood insurance claims only. Private flood policies, homeowners water claims and uninsured losses are not in them, and a ZIP with few claims may simply have few flood policies. ZIP codes are as reported to FEMA. ZIPs with fewer than 5 claims show "fewer than 5" and no dollar total. Year built comes from the Census Bureau's ACS 5-year 2020-2024 estimates for ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate ZIP codes and carry margins of error.

Across 31 residential Jacksonville ZIP codes, FEMA's records hold 6,030 NFIP claims, 4,518 with a payment, totaling $213,935,673.
