Zone percentages may not sum to 100%. Rounding, areas without FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) coverage, and parcels that carry more than one zone designation all contribute to this. Zone codes follow FEMA's official FIRM naming convention: "AE" indicates high-risk inland flooding with detailed base flood elevation data; "X" covers both moderate- and low-risk areas outside the 1% annual chance floodplain; "D" marks areas where flood hazard is possible but not yet determined; and "A99" applies to areas protected by levees under construction. Coverage and zone boundaries are updated as FIRMs are revised. Verify the current map for your property at msc.fema.gov.
