Utah Flood Insurance Costs

In May 2026, the average premium among Utah NFIP policies newly written or renewed that month was $635. The state pays less than the country as a whole — 35.3% under the $982 national average. That represents a 3.6% decline year over year. The month's tally covers 454 policy transactions across 22 reporting areas.

What we measure: Average premium among policies newly written or renewed that month (NFIP transactions) — not the official in-force average. OpenFEMA transaction data is published on a lag of roughly two months; the latest period shown reflects that lag.
