Official source figures, as of 14 August 2026. Calculated from National Flood Insurance Program policy records published by FEMA. These are premiums other policyholders paid, not a quote or an offer of coverage.

Households in Seminole County paid a median of $726 a year for flood insurance on single-family homes, calculated from 20,789 National Flood Insurance Program policies written since January 2023. That is about 19% below the statewide median of $893 across the same 2023 to 2026 period.

Premiums have climbed every year since 2023, so a figure pooled across four years sits below what a policy written today costs. The year-by-year table further down shows where Seminole County stands now.

A quarter of those households paid less than $575, and a quarter paid more than $896. That spread matters more than the midpoint, because since Risk Rating 2.0 every property is priced on its own characteristics rather than on a zone average.
