When are properties considered Pre-FIRM regarding flood insurance?

After 12/31/1974 or the first FIRM, whichever is earlier
Before the first FIRM or 12/31/1974, whichever is later
Only after the establishment of NFIP
During the year 1974 exclusively

The correct answer is: Before the first FIRM or 12/31/1974, whichever is later

Properties are considered Pre-FIRM before the first Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or 12/31/1974, whichever comes later. This means that if a property was built before the first FIRM was created or before 12/31/1974, it is considered Pre-FIRM. Option A is incorrect because it states "after" the first FIRM or 12/31/1974, when the correct phrase is "before". Option C is incorrect because it only mentions the establishment of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which is not directly related to the classification of Pre-FIRM properties. Option D is incorrect because it restricts the timeframe to only the year 1974, when Pre-FIRM properties can exist before or after this specific year.
