Nebraska Flood Zone Statement and Authorization
About this form
The Flood Zone Statement and Authorization form is designed for real estate transactions. This form helps sellers disclose the flood zone status of a property and requires buyers to acknowledge this status. By using this form, parties can ensure that they understand their responsibilities regarding flood hazard insurance if the property is later identified as being in a flood-prone area. This form is crucial for protecting both buyers and sellers in property sales, setting it apart from standard property disclosure documents.

When to use this form
This form should be used during the sale of residential property when the flood zone status is relevant. If a property is located in an area at risk for flooding, both buyers and sellers must complete this form to clarify obligations regarding flood insurance.
