Flood insurance cost in ZIP 34762 (Wildwood, FL)
What homeowners with a National Flood Insurance Program policy actually pay, from FEMA's records of 596 home policies in force on August 31, 2026.
Median annual cost of NFIP flood insurance for a home

Half of insured homes paid between $645 and $1,020. That is 21% more than the Sumter County median ($636). Most insured homes here are rated in zone AE (58%).
This is what policyholders paid, not a quote. Two neighbors can pay very different prices: NFIP prices depend on the building (elevation, foundation, number of floors, replacement cost), the coverage and deductible chosen and the distance to water (FEMA FloodSmart: premium factors). For a price for your building, ask an insurance agent. Private flood insurance is not included in these figures.
