More information

It's important to thoroughly research any property you are interested in purchasing. This research should include information on whether or not your property is in a FEMA-rated flood zone. There are more than twenty-five flood zones in Amarillo, and over 145,000 acres in Potter and Randall County.

If you own a property in a flood zone, standard homeowner insurance will not cover flood damage. You should contact your insurance provider to get more information on flood insurance rates. If you still wish to purchase a property, or already own a property in a flood zone, there are repairs and modifications you can make to the property that can mitigate water damage in case of heavy rain and floods.
