The Standard Flood Insurance Policy (SFIP) specifies the terms and conditions of the agreement of insurance between either the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as insurer (for policies issued by the NFIP Servicing Agent) or the WYO company as insurer (for policies issued by the WYO Program) and the named insurer.

Named insurers in NFIP participating communities include homeowners, renters, business owners, builders of buildings that are in the course of construction, condominium associations, owners of residential condominium units, and mortgagees/trustee (applicable to building coverage only.)

There are three policy forms:

Dwelling Form, the General Property Form, and the Residential Condominium Building Association Policy. Each is used to insure a different type of property. All, however, contain certain terms and condition (e.g., Mortgage Clause, Reformation of Coverage) that are unique to flood insurance.
