NFIP Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) Coverage
FEMA / National Flood Insurance Program
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs NFIP Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) Coverage in its New Orleans, LA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
NFIP policies include ICC coverage that provides up to $30,000 to help cover the cost of elevating, relocating, or demolishing a home that has been substantially damaged by flooding and must comply with local floodplain ordinances. In New Orleans, where flood risk is high, ICC claims can help homeowners offset the cost of meeting current BFE (Base Flood Elevation) standards after a flood event.
ICC is part of NFIP policy; no separate application. Submit ICC claim concurrently with primary flood claim when substantial damage is determined.
