BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — City of Boca Raton residents may now qualify for significant discounts on flood insurance, thanks to new action taken by the City that is viewed upon favorably by the insurance industry.
“The City of Boca Raton takes part in the National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS), a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that help reduce flood risk,” said an advisory issued Wednesday to BocaNewsNow.com.
“Through recently increased floodplain management activities, the City’s improved CRS Classification now qualifies City residents for a larger discount on their flood insurance premiums. The discount increased from 15% to 25% for residents in all flood zones. If you are unsure of your discount status, please contact your flood insurance provider.”
While the discount is available to many City of Boca Raton residents, we remind you that a “Boca Raton” address doesn’t necessarily mean that you live in the City of Boca Raton. Transplants moving to West Boca — especially from New York — often have a problem understanding this. The City of Boca Raton is making it easy to follow along. Just use this map to determine whether you’re a resident of the City of Boca Raton, or if your community is just using it for marketing purposes because “Unincorporated Palm Beach County” doesn’t sound quite as nice as “Boca.”
