Flood zones & evacuation

0% of homes in Kensington sit on a lot mostly inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, where a federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance — measured across 563 mapped homes, and 10% sit on a lot that crosses the line, so it varies from home to home. For hurricane evacuation Kensington is in Collier Zone C.

Two different things, measured by two different agencies. Evacuation zones are about storm surge and who leaves first. Flood zones are FEMA’s insurance rating, and they vary from home to home.

Villas and townhouses count under one or the other, by how each is deeded.

10% of homes here sit on a parcel that crosses the line. On those, the answer depends on where the home stands, not which community it is in — so check the specific address.

FEMA flood maps and Collier County Emergency Management. A revised Collier County flood map is in preparation and may change these zones.

Flood zone varies by home — each home’s page shows its own.
A starting point, not a determination. Your lender will require its own flood zone determination before closing, and your insurer will normally require an elevation certificate — a surveyor’s measurement of how high the building actually sits — before quoting. Those documents govern; this does not replace either. Zones can also be amended individually through FEMA.

Flood zones, evacuation, and insurance are explained in the Risk, Resilience & Insurance chapter of the 2027 Naples Buyer’s Guide.
