Flood Insurance and Cache Creek Risk in Woodland, CA
Flood is the defining property risk in Woodland, and it is the one most homeowners are surprised to learn their policy does not touch. A standard homeowners or business policy excludes flood damage. That coverage has to be written separately.
Roughly 1,000 Woodland properties sit inside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area tied to Cache Creek, including about 779 residential addresses and a large share of the city’s commercial and industrial base in the north and east. Cache Creek has overtopped its banks more than 20 times since 1900, most recently in February 2019 when flood fighting kept parts of the city dry. The Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Reduction Project is moving forward, but affected properties stay in the floodplain until it is built.
Here is what that means for coverage:
- If your property is in an AE zone and you carry a mortgage, flood insurance is mandatory. Premiums for a single-family home commonly run from $600 to $3,000 per year depending on the property.
- If your property is in Zone X, flood insurance is not required, but the risk is not zero. Lower-cost preferred-risk policies are often available.
- Some Woodland addresses have been remapped over the years. We check whether your specific parcel sits in the current hazard area before you pay for coverage you may not need.
- We place both National Flood Insurance Program policies and private flood options, then compare them so you are not stuck with one price.

Homeowners and Auto Insurance in Woodland, CA
Woodland homeowners deal with Central Valley heat, aging housing stock in older neighborhoods, and a hard California home-insurance market where replacement costs have climbed faster than many older policy limits. We help Woodland homeowners insure their home for what it would actually cost to rebuild today, not what it cost when the policy was first written. If you have had trouble finding or keeping coverage in the current market, that is exactly the kind of problem an independent agency is built to solve.
From the daily commute down Highway 113 and I-5 to Sacramento, to work trucks on rural Yolo County roads, we help Woodland drivers find auto coverage that fits how they actually drive. Bundling home and auto with the right carrier usually lowers both. We compare rates across dozens of carriers and make sure your coverage holds up when something goes wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions — Woodland Insurance
Do you serve Woodland, CA and Yolo County?
Yes. Oakview Insurance Services serves clients throughout Woodland, Davis, Winters, Knights Landing, Zamora, Esparto, West Sacramento, and surrounding Yolo County communities by phone, online, and in person.
Do I need flood insurance in Woodland?
If your property is in the Cache Creek AE flood zone and you carry a mortgage, flood insurance is mandatory. Roughly 1,000 Woodland properties sit in the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. Even outside that zone, a standard homeowners policy does not cover flood, so a separate policy is often worth considering. We can look up your address and tell you which zone you are in.
Does my Woodland homeowners policy cover Cache Creek flooding?
No. Homeowners and business policies exclude flood damage. Flood coverage is written separately through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private flood carrier. We place and compare both so you are not stuck with a single price.
What is the difference between an independent broker and a captive agent in Woodland?
A captive agent such as State Farm, Farmers, or Allstate can only sell products from one company. As an independent broker, Oakview works with 30+ A-rated carriers and recommends coverage based on what fits your situation. In a hard market where home and flood coverage can be hard to place, having access to multiple carriers makes a real difference in both price and availability.
Can you insure my Woodland business?
Yes. We help Woodland business owners with general liability, commercial property, business auto, workers compensation, professional liability, and landlord and rental property coverage. Commercial flood is also worth reviewing, since much of Woodland’s commercial property sits in the Cache Creek floodplain.
Do you write landlord and rental property insurance in Woodland?
Yes. We cover single rentals and rental portfolios with landlord and rental property policies, and we can bundle them with your other coverage where it makes sense.
