Where can I find Flood Map of a house for free?

Your local home mortgage broker should have a copy of the local flood areas, as they use them to determine if the borrower needs to get flood insurance. The county engineer should have one, also.

Fema has maps online for free at:
http://msc.fema.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/se...

Click through the choices, then click onthe last button titled "Get FEMA Issued Flood Maps"

The next page will be where you can view the maps. You may have to go through a few of them if you are in an unincorporated area. FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) is what you want.

Zoom in or out to find your location. To print the map, you have to "Make A FIRMette"

It's a bit complicated but once you get the hang of it, you won't need it again.
