Let's say you received minor damage due to the flooding and you can afford to make the repairs yourself. Would it be beneficial for future resale value to refuse a FEMA inspection and just withdraw the application?

Does accepting FEMA aid flag your property as flood damaged?

You would have to disclose that the property was flood damaged regardless of you accepting FEMA money.

As others have said, you must disclose the damage regardless of taking FEMA money. If you don't need the cash, don't file. Why would you want gov't money with its many strings attached if you don't need it?
