How to Buy Homeowner’s Insurance in Florida
Florida residents aren’t required to purchase homeowner’s insurance for residences they own. However, most mortgage companies demand proof of homeowner’s insurance before they lend you money.
Homeowner’s insurance protects your home financially from “covered perils,” such as fire, tornado or hurricane. Damage from flooding typically isn’t covered under your homeowner’s policy. Ask your insurance agent about obtaining separate coverage for flood damages.
What should you expect from your homeowner’s insurance policy?
According to the Florida Division of Consumer Services, “homeowner’s insurance typically covers the dwelling including attached structures, certain unattached structures and your personal property. Additional Living Expense (ALE) and coverage for Liability is also normally included. All coverage is subject to the limits specified in the policy.”
Homeowner’s policies vary greatly between insurers. Ask your insurance agent for a detailed comparison of available homeowner’s policies, one that takes into consideration your family’s specific needs.
First, figure out which types of homeowner’s coverage you’ll need. Types of homeowner insurance policies include:
- Owner occupied
- Condo unit owners
- Renters
- Modified Coverage
- Dwelling
- Mobile home
Recovery is limited under most homeowner’s policies for certain items of personal property, such as jewelry, firearms and antiques. Speak with your agent about obtaining full coverage for your most valuable personal items using supplemental insurance.
Florida Homeowner’s Insurance Policies Can Be Difficult to Understand
Next, learn which features of your homeowner’s insurance are the most important to recognize and understand. Talk to your insurance agent about which items in your homeowner’s policy deserve the closest scrutiny.
Homeowners insurance in Florida features rules and nuances that can be difficult to understand. Your insurance agent can explain the most complicated facets of homeowner’s insurance coverage, including:
- Rate factors
- Underwriting rules
- Cancellation policies
- Nonrenewal issues
Once you feel comfortable with the factors that influence the costs and coverage of your homeowner’s insurance, begin comparing policies with your insurance agent. Good Greek Insurance offers homeowner’s policies from more than 50 insurance companies.
