Flood Zone Determination/Flood Insurance Information

Flood insurance is available to all residents of North Las Vegas, whether the property is located within a flood zone or not. Policies covering damages to personal property are available to renters as well as homeowners. Typical homeowners insurance does NOT provide coverage for damages to either structures or belongings resulting from floods. Flood insurance policies are available through most insurance companies.

Is your home in a Flood Zone?

Flood zone boundaries have been determined by FEMA in consultation with the local communities and are shown on Flood Insurance Rate Maps. These maps can be viewed on the Clark County Regional Flood Control District or a flood zone determination for a specific property can be obtained by contacting the City. A written floodzone determination letter may be provided by the City at a cost of $20 per parcel.
