What flood insurance costs in Macon
What NFIP policyholders in and around Macon pay a year for a single-family home, by flood zone: the middle half of premiums on policies that took effect Sep 2025–Sep 2026. It is what insured homes here pay, not a quote for any one building.
| Flood zone | Policies | Middle half | Full-risk median |
|---|---|---|---|
| A zones (special flood hazard area) | 94 | $570–$860 | $690 |
| X zone (outside the mapped flood zone) | 97 | $360–$820 | $510 |
Full-risk premium: the median of FEMA's own full-risk premium for the same policies (Risk Rating 2.0). A discounted policy rises toward it a step each year, within the law's cap on yearly increases. Zones are the flood zone each policy is rated in. OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Policies v3, as of Sep 2026.

Acres from the county roll (DeKalb County's open layer publishes none, so its acres are the parcel outline's); where the roll and the outline disagree by more than three times, the parcel page names both. Condominium units that share one point (each carrying the whole complex's acres) are left out of the lot sizes.
