Newer homes built in Westminster are not allowed to be constructed in a floodplain. Older homes located near a waterway that was built before may be in a floodplain.
FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer Viewer allows you to search for your property to see if it’s in a floodplain.

If you live in a floodplain, you may need to purchase flood insurance. Homeowners’ policies do not include coverage for flood damage. Westminster participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, which allows residents to purchase a separate flood insurance policy through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This coverage may be required by your lender when applying for a home mortgage. Be sure it covers the building's contents as well as its structure.
To find out if a structure is within a high hazard flood zone, visit the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) Viewer or contact the City's floodplain administrator.
The community HMP contains a list of action items the City can take to reduce our risk of flooding. The annual Action Progress Report can be found here.
