Homes in Weston inside a Special Flood Hazard Area (6% of mapped parcels) need flood insurance if the mortgage is federally backed. Outside the SFHA it is optional but often cheap — and roughly a quarter of NFIP claims come from those lower-risk zones.

Weston flood zones, parcel by parcel

Of the 23,596 Weston parcels we map, 1,398 (6%) sit in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area — where flood insurance is required with any federally backed mortgage. City-level answers hide that the line runs street by street; this is the actual parcel count, computed from Broward County's effective FEMA layer.

The breakdown

Zone	Parcels	Share	What it means

X	892	3.8%	Minimal — outside the mapped floodplain
AH	371	1.6%	High risk — shallow ponding, usually 1 to 3 ft
D	1	0%	Undetermined — never studied

The median county market value of a flood-zone parcel in Weston is $473,830, against $684,670 outside the floodplain. The market already prices some of the flood risk in — which cuts both ways in a negotiation: a flood-zone address is not automatically a discount case, and a zone X address is not automatically fairly priced.
