FAQs about Florida home insurance
What is the average cost of home insurance in Florida?
The average cost of Florida home insurance premiums is $3,600. Homeowners insurance in Florida is expensive because of the high risk of natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and sinkholes. Your home's risks depend on its location and other characteristics.
Is home insurance required in Florida?
While homeowners insurance isn't required at the state level, nearly all mortgage lenders require it. Plus, if your home is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) like most Florida homes, your lender will usually require you to have flood insurance, too.
What factors affect home insurance rates in Florida?
Where you live, the age of your home, your home's characteristics, and other factors will determine the cost of your home insurance. Florida's rising insurance costs are also influenced by reinsurance, insurance fraud, litigation costs, catastrophic claims, and inflation.
What type of home insurance coverages are recommended in Florida?
Beyond the standard adjustable coverages for your home and things like other structures, personal property, and liability, you'll also want to consider adding flood insurance and sinkhole insurance.
And while there's technically no such thing as hurricane insurance, many home insurance policies include coverage for wind damage caused by hurricanes. They may also have a hurricane deductible that applies when you make a claim for losses caused by hurricane winds.
