Not APS — its certificated territory does not extend into ZIP code 85296.

Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85296 in a flood zone?
Parts of it are, which is true of most of the Phoenix valley — the desert washes that carry monsoon runoff are mapped as high-hazard even where they cross otherwise dry ground. ZIP code 85296 contains FEMA zones AE, AH. That says nothing about any particular house: most homes in these ZIPs sit outside the mapped areas. A lender will require flood insurance only if the property itself is inside one, so the check that matters is on the address, not the ZIP.
