Florida-Specific Coverage Considerations

Hurricane & Windstorm

Florida requires separate windstorm coverage or special hurricane deductibles (often 2-5% of dwelling coverage).

  • Covers wind damage from hurricanes and tropical storms
  • May be included or require separate policy
  • Higher deductibles typically apply

Sinkholes

Florida's limestone foundation makes sinkholes a real concern. Some insurers offer this as add-on coverage.

  • Catastrophic ground cover collapse coverage (required)
  • Optional broader sinkhole coverage available
  • More important in certain Florida regions

Replacement Cost

Opt for replacement cost coverage instead of actual cash value to avoid depreciation issues.

  • Rebuilds home without depreciation deductions
  • Accounts for rising construction costs
  • Extended replacement cost provides extra cushion

Water Damage

Standard policies cover sudden water damage (burst pipes) but NOT flood damage—that requires separate flood insurance.

  • Burst pipes, roof leaks, and appliance malfunctions covered
  • Flood damage requires separate policy
  • Water backup coverage available as endorsement

What's Typically NOT Covered

Standard home insurance policies exclude:

  • Flood damage - Requires separate flood insurance policy
  • Earthquake damage - Separate earthquake insurance needed
  • Maintenance issues - Wear and tear, mold, termites, neglect
  • Home-based business - Requires business insurance or endorsement
  • Certain dog breeds - Some insurers exclude specific breeds
  • Vacant properties - Extended vacancy may void coverage
