Flood Insurance in Idaho
Flood is excluded from every standard homeowners policy. Coverage comes from the NFIP or a private flood carrier, and most policies carry a waiting period.
What is different in Idaho
Wildfire is the dominant property exposure and carrier appetite now varies parcel by parcel on wildfire scoring rather than by county. Rapid population growth in the Treasure Valley has outpaced fire protection districts in some newly developed areas, which shows up directly in protection class and premium.
