Lee, cities get 121 days to fix FEMA issues, maintain 25% discount

Lee County property owners will continue to get a 25% discount on their flood insurance premiums for the time being after the Federal Emergency Management Agency gave the county another extension to correct outstanding issues that led to a rating downturn in March.

A FEMA spokesperson, in an email to the Business Observer, says Lee and four of its localities have begun “a probation process” to make sure they have the “support they need" to be compliant with the National Flood Insurance Program.
