FEMA’s August 6, 2026 Final Flood Hazard Determinations notice (FR Doc. 2026-15942, 91 FR 50874) lists the City of Gatlinburg under Sevier County Docket FEMA-B-2550 with a November 13, 2026 FIRM date. The table prints the map repository as City Hall, 1230 East Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 37738.

A final map date is not a condo policy. Gatlinburg condo and townhome owners still need to read the association master policy and the unit-owner HO-6 side by side. This article is informational only. It does not promise coverage, price, eligibility, or that any unit changed flood zone.

FR Doc. 2026-15942 (Aug. 6, 2026) lists the City of Gatlinburg in the Sevier County Final Flood Hazard Determinations table under Docket FEMA-B-2550, with a November 13, 2026 FIRM date and repository at City Hall, 1230 East Parkway.

Is this a flood-map story or an HO-6 companion?

HO-6 companion to the same-day Gatlinburg Final FIRM post. A final map date is not a condo policy. Unit owners still need the association master policy and an HO-6 side by side.

Does a final FIRM replace my HO-6 or the association master policy?

No. The Federal Register notice finalizes flood-hazard information. It does not rewrite the association master policy or the unit-owner HO-6.

Does an HO-6 or the master policy cover flood in Gatlinburg?

Usually not. Flood is typically excluded from a standard HO-6 and from many master policies. Treat flood as a separate NFIP or private flood discussion. Informational only — no coverage promise.

What should a Gatlinburg condo or townhome owner review before Nov. 13, 2026?

Confirm any lender flood letter against the November 13, 2026 maps, request the current master-policy certificate, compare walls-in/betterments, loss assessment, and contents on the HO-6, and request a free policy review.

Where is the Gatlinburg map repository listed?

City Hall, 1230 East Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 37738, per FR Doc. 2026-15942.

How is this different from Sevier County county-wide FIRM posts already on the blog?

This companion focuses on Gatlinburg unit owners and the HO-6/master-policy stack for the City of Gatlinburg row in Docket FEMA-B-2550. County-wide Sevier FIRM explainers remain separate posts.

Where can someone request a free policy review?
