What flood insurance costs in Tipton County

What NFIP policyholders in Tipton County 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 zonePoliciesMiddle halfFull-risk median
A zones (special flood hazard area)66$560–$1,170$880

Zones are the flood zone each policy is rated in. OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Policies v3, as of Sep 2026.
