Outside the high-risk Special Flood Hazard Area. Federal flood insurance is NOT required, though optional preferred-rate NFIP coverage is still worth considering in coastal Hampton Roads.

Data sources: Flood zone and base flood elevation come from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Property elevation is sampled from a single point on the parcel using the USGS National Map elevation service — actual elevations across a single property can vary by several feet higher or lower than the figure shown. Use these numbers as a starting reference and do your own due diligence (a professional survey or elevation certificate) before relying on them for any financial, insurance, or construction decision.
