§22.4. Exemptions.
12 C.F.R. § 22.4
The flood insurance requirement prescribed by § 22.3 does not apply with respect to:
Any State-owned property covered under a policy of self-insurance satisfactory to the Administrator of FEMA, who publishes and periodically revises the list of States falling within this exemption;
Property securing any loan with an original principal balance of $5,000 or less and a repayment term of one year or less; or
Any structure that is a part of any residential property but is detached from the primary residential structure of such property and does not serve as a residence. For purposes of this paragraph (c):
“A structure that is a part of a residential property” is a structure used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, and not used primarily for agricultural, commercial, industrial, or other business purposes;
A structure is “detached” from the primary residential structure if it is not joined by any structural connection to that structure; and
“Serve as a residence” shall be based upon the good faith determination of the national bank or Federal savings association that the structure is intended for use or actually used as a residence, which generally includes sleeping, bathroom, or kitchen facilities.
