Ownership and Occupancy ASL

When applying for FEMA disaster assistance, you may need to show that you owned and lived in your damaged primary residence at the time of the disaster.

This video explains the types of documents FEMA may accept to verify ownership and occupancy, including deeds, mortgage statements, property tax bills, utility bills, lease agreements, rent receipts, insurance documents, and other records.

Gathering the right documents can help FEMA process your application more quickly and accurately. If you are unsure which documents to submit, contact FEMA directly for more information.
