What New Kent County sellers
should know

Three rivers shape flood risk here
New Kent regulates FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas in zones A, AE and VE on maps effective October 21, 2021, and owners there with a government-backed mortgage must carry flood insurance. The county's 2045 plan ties that risk to the York, Pamunkey and Chickahominy rivers and names a repeat-loss area of low-lying homes in the Chickahominy's meander bends. The Environmental Department (804-966-8580) can help you check a property.
-
Most soils here are hard on septic systems
The county's comprehensive plan says about 81.8% of New Kent soils are rated very limited for septic absorption fields, because of slow drainage, shallow water tables, ponding or flooding. If your home is on septic, pumping and inspection records answer a buyer's first question before it is asked.

Call (804) 966-9611 to ask how a sale, or a change in who lives there, affects it.

Do you buy homes in flood zones?
We'll look at any New Kent County home, including ones in a flood zone or with past water damage. The county regulates FEMA flood zones along the York, Pamunkey and Chickahominy rivers, and if your home is in one and you have a government-backed mortgage, flood insurance is required.
