🌊 Flood & insurance in Clearwater Beach
Barrier-island homes took storm surge from Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024. Before you buy, check elevation, flood history, and permit records. Under FEMA's "50% rule," if repairs or improvements top half of a building's value, it must be brought up to current flood-elevation standards. If you plan to rent the property out, confirm the condo association's and the city's short-term rental rules before you make an offer.
