Flood Disaster Protection Act: Applicability and Notifications

The Flood Disaster Protection Act prohibits banks from making, increasing, extending, or renewing a loan secured by improved real estate or a mobile home located or to be located in a Special Flood Hazard Area unless the property securing the loan is covered by flood insurance.

This course will discuss how a bank determines if flood insurance is required on a secured property and the notice that must be sent to the borrower.
