Depending upon who has created the guidelines (FannieMae, FreddieMac or other) they may require verification your house is /is not in a flood zone. That is what the flood certificate answers. It is not a profit point for a Loan Originator or Broker. But it won't cost you anything to ask if your lender will cover that expense.

Because it's required. Less than $20.00. There's a lot of other items you may want to question. This is not one of them.
