The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • Metro Water Services mailed annual flood risk notices to 18,000 properties located in designated floodplains and floodways within Davidson County.newschannel5.com
  • Davidson County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS).newschannel5.com
  • Because Davidson County participates in the CRS, eligible property owners receive a 10% discount on their flood insurance premiums.newschannel5.com
  • Standard homeowners' insurance does not cover flood damage.newschannel5.com

Why it matters

The 10% discount offered through the CRS is a direct financial incentive for property owners in Goodlettsville and the surrounding county. This benefit helps offset the high cost of flood insurance, which is necessary because standard homeowners' insurance policies do not cover flood damage.

This program is part of a broader effort by Davidson County to manage flood risk, as MWS noted that all streams within Metro Nashville are subject to flooding, and backwater flooding can be significant. The county's participation in the NFIP since 1982 makes its residents and businesses eligible for these federal resources.
