Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form (MUST DOWNLOAD)

This form can be filled out online.

The Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form is required for all federally backed loans and is used by lenders to determine the flood risk for their building loans. The form is authorized by the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and is imposed on lenders by their regulatory entities, not by FEMA. FEMA oversees the National Flood Insurance Program which makes federally administered flood insurance available throughout the United States and is responsible for development, updates and making the form available to users. Implementation of the mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 94, as amended, is the responsibility of the various federal agencies that regulate lenders. Please contact your regulator or lender to determine their requirements. This form may be locally reproduced. This form needs to be downloaded and opened directly in Adobe Reader because it may not open in Edge or other browser-based readers. If you have questions about this form, please contact FEMA-FMIX@fema.dhs.gov.

On Sept. 27, 2023 FEMA published a Federal Register notice of revision and request for comments regarding the form. The current version of the form is not expired and may continue to be used until further notice.
