Check FEMA's map and HCFCD's tool, ask for an elevation certificate and claims history, and remember City rules require new homes in the floodplain to be 2 feet above it.

Plan rebuilds around ACC and trees

Insurance and disclosures: buyers will price homeowners and flood insurance before they commit.
