Homeowners Insurance Requirements in Florida

The state of Florida does not legally require homeowners to purchase insurance. However, if you have a mortgage, your lender may require it, and even if you’ve paid off your home, you still may want to consider purchasing a good homeowners insurance policy. This is because the average value of a home in Florida is $215,300. Can you afford to replace your home if it were to become uninhabitable due to a covered event, like a fire or strong storm?

Types of Homeowners Insurance Coverages to Consider

A homeowners insurance policy is designed to financially protect you in case of certain unforeseeable events, like fire, theft, vandalism and certain weather events. It’s also designed to help if someone who does not live on your property gets injured, like from a dog bite or slip and fall. Common coverages that homeowners insurance provides include:

A high-quality homeowners insurance policy contains several types of protection, including:

  • Home Replacement Cost – If your home is completely destroyed, this coverage helps pay for a replacement.
  • Home Repair Cost – If your home is damaged via a covered event, this helps provide funds for the repairs.
  • Replacement of Damaged Personal Belongings – If your personal belongings, including clothes, furniture and electronics, are damaged, this helps provide the funds to replace them.
  • Repair and Replacement Costs for External Structures – If you have garages or sheds on your property that are damaged via a covered event, this coverage helps provide the funds to repair or replace them.
  • Personal Liability – If someone who does not live at your property gets injured on your property, this coverage helps pay for expenses related to the accident.
  • Medical Expenses – If someone who does not live on your property gets injured, this helps pay for any needed medical treatments.
  • Additional Living Expenses – If you cannot live in your home after the covered event, this helps pay for additional living expenses while your home is being repaired.

Understanding Whether or Not You Need Flood Insurance

In addition to homeowners insurance, you may want to consider flood insurance. In Tampa alone, more than 43,000 properties are at risk for flooding, according to a news article by the Tampa Bay Times, and if you live in a 100-year floodplain, your mortgage company may require flood insurance. This is because a standard homeowners insurance policy does not cover flooding. If you’re not sure if you live in a flood zone, FEMA provides a map where you can input your address to check your flood risk.

Flood Zone Area Designations

There are five risk zones for Florida, including:

  • Zone X – Low to moderate risk with a .02 percent risk of annual flooding
  • Zone A – High risk with a 1 percent chance of annual flooding
  • Zone AE – High risk with homes being considered in a 100-year floodplain
  • Zone V – Extremely High Risk with at least one flood expected within 30 years
  • Zone VE – Extremely High Risk with at least one flood expected within 30 years

Median Cost of Homeowners Insurance in Florida

One of the primary reasons that homeowners drop their insurance coverage or fail to get it is fear of the cost. The truth is that homeowners insurance is affordable in Florida. The average cost of a yearly premium in the state is $216 per month, and there are ways you can lower the cost of your premiums, including:

  • Choosing a higher deductible
  • Taking advantage of multi-line discounts
  • Consider disaster safety upgrades
  • Consider installing home security
