Confirm current FEMA flood-zone status directly
This record did not independently confirm a precise, current FEMA flood-zone designation for a specific York address this pass -- confirm directly via the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for any oceanfront property.
A likely premium above Maine's statewide insurance average
Maine's own statewide homeowners-insurance average ran approximately $1,335-$1,433/year, though a York oceanfront property likely carries a real, meaningful premium above that statewide figure given its direct coastal exposure.
