What is increased cost of compliance, or ICC, coverage, and how can I access those funds? Which mitigation options qualify for ICC funds?

If your building is insured through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) with a Standard Flood Insurance Policy (SFIP), Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) coverage will help cover the costs of mitigation measures so the building is constructed in accordance with the latest state and local floodplain management ordinances or laws, up to $30,000. Acceptable mitigation measures are elevation, floodproofing (non-residential buildings), relocation, demolition, or any combination thereof. ICC claims apply to structures only, not building contents. To be eligible for ICC, your community building department must determine your structure to be substantially or repetitively damaged by flooding.
