Flood Insurance Premiums Reduced in Burlingame

Burlingame residents and businesses are now eligible for a 5 percent reduction on flood insurance premiums. This discount reflects the work of the City in improving storm drainage and implementing best practices for reducing flooding.

The City’s participation in the Community Rating System (CRS) by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) allowed for this reduction in premiums. Burlingame could participate in this program due to the Burlingame Storm Drain Capital Improvements Program funded by the storm drain bond measure.

The changes will affect policies renewed or issued after May 1, 2012.
