Compliance Question of the Week

Question: A borrower is purchasing a condo on the 8th floor of the building. The condo building is in a SFHA in a participating community. However, since the unit in question is on the 8th floor, is flood insurance necessary?

A residential condominium, including multi-story condominium complexes, are subject to the regulatory requirements for flood insurance.
