Which maps apply in the City of Naples
The city says "2024 Flood Insurance Rate Maps are in effect for construction and insurance purposes," replacing maps that had been in effect since May 16, 2012, "using updated and more detailed information" (City of Naples). The changes "may affect rates" on NFIP policies and construction rules for some properties, and the city offers an online comparison map to see whether your zone or Base Flood Elevation changed (City of Naples).
The city also cautions that flood information on its website "is subject to change," and that before buying or building you should confirm through "an official flood zone determination" (City of Naples).

Why the zone matters in Naples
Hurricane Ian pushed an estimated 6 to 9 feet of storm surge inundation into Naples in 2022 (NHC Ian report). Your flood zone drives whether flood insurance is required for your mortgage and how a home must be built or rebuilt. Repairs or improvements costing 50% or more of a building's market value require it to meet current flood rules (FEMA).

Evacuation zones in Naples are set by Collier County. See Collier County evacuation zones.
