Homes near the water should treat flood as a separate decision from wind.
Do building codes affect insurance in West Palm Beach?
Parts of the county, especially areas near the coast, fall in the Florida Building Code's wind-borne debris region, where new construction needs impact-rated openings or shutters. Your building department can confirm whether a given address is inside it.
Homes built or re-roofed after the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002 tend to document better on a wind mitigation report; older homes may need a 4-point inspection.
What flood zones are in West Palm Beach?
FEMA maps show A and, on open coast, V zones near the water in and around West Palm Beach. A homeowners policy excludes flood; check your address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
