tax rate on beach front home just went from $3,300.00 per year to $6,700.00 per year. :shake:
Don't know if that's relative or we need more money for rail  :crazy:

Well somebody has spooked C&C to come out with this.  Wonder if this affects flood insurance rates.  Even though my home is green, it's unrated so they still stick it to me.  Thinking of cancelling this year.

Tsunami hazard and flood hazard are 2 different beasts.  The flood insurance is related to FEMA flood maps, where inland areas sometimes show Flood Zone D, areas with undetermined risk.  In most cases, it may be obvious you're not at a high risk, but i would make sure first!

I'm no insurance expert but FEMA Flood insurance is supposed to cover flooding from a tsunami but I might have missed some fine print.  Yes I live in a Zone D area and not required by my mortgage to have flood insurance.   I always laugh when that flood insurance commercial says rates as low as hundred something a year.  Where is this mythical safe zone?   Since it only covers the structure and not contents, feel like I'm throwing away $1800 a year.  Could be buying that $1800 optic (joke).
