Flood Insurance Renewal

Question: 
If we have a force placed flood insurance policy that is due to expire, can we just renew the policy or do we have to send out the required forty-five day letter and wait forty-five days before requesting the force placed policy be renewed.
Answer: 

You must always send a new forty-five day notice, but when, depends on what type of policy was purchased. If the policy that is due to expire is a standard policy, you must wait for the policy to expire, notify them and then wait forty-five days before force placing again.

If the policy that is due to expire is a force place policy (a MPPP), you can notify the customer forty-five days prior to expiration. If a new policy has not been purchased at the time of expiration, you can force place with another MPPP at that time.
