Home Insurance in Florida

Hurricane risk, flood exposure, and one of the highest rates of uninsured drivers make Florida one of the most complex insurance markets in the U.S.

Home Insurance Requirements in Florida

Florida requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of $10,000 and Property Damage Liability (PDL) of $10,000. Florida is a no-fault state — your own PIP pays medical bills regardless of fault. Standard homeowners insurance in Florida typically does not cover flooding. With Florida's significant hurricane and flood exposure, separate flood insurance through the NFIP or private carriers is strongly recommended. Florida employers with four or more employees must carry workers' compensation insurance. Construction industry businesses are required to carry it with any employees at all.

Home Insurance in Florida – FAQ

Standard homeowners insurance (HO-3) covers your dwelling (structure), other structures on the property (fences, detached garages), personal property, liability for injuries that occur on your property, and additional living expenses if your home is uninhabitable after a covered loss. It does not automatically cover floods or earthquakes — those require separate policies.
