NFIP Premium Transparency Act
Current understanding
HR9511, the NFIP Premium Transparency Act, would require greater disclosure of how National Flood Insurance Program premiums are calculated. It was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services in June 2026. For homeowners and buyers in flood-prone areas, greater premium transparency could clarify carrying costs; for builders and lenders it may affect underwriting and disclosure practices, though effects depend on final rulemaking.
