Why rates in Florida look the way they do
Florida home insurance ($2,385/yr NAIC 2023) is high but isn’t the most expensive — Oklahoma’s $2,810/yr beats it. Florida’s distinguishing feature is volatility: 7 carriers became insolvent in 2022-2023, and Citizens (the state-run insurer of last resort) ballooned to over 1.4 million policies before reforms cooled the market.
Florida’s insurance market is restructuring after the 2022 legislative reforms (SB 2A) eliminated assignment-of-benefits abuse and capped attorney-fee multipliers. Carriers that had exited or were on the brink of insolvency are starting to write new business again, but home rates remain among the highest in the country.
Three state-specific dynamics that drive rates here:
- PIP (no-fault) auto insurance is required by Florida statute; $10K minimum medical coverage.
- Citizens Property Insurance is the state-run insurer of last resort; ~1.2M policies as of late 2024.
- SB 2A (2022) eliminated AOB abuse, capped contingency-fee multipliers, and required a one-way attorney-fee statute repeal.

What drives Florida auto insurance rates
Florida’s insurance market is restructuring after the 2022 legislative reforms (SB 2A) eliminated assignment-of-benefits abuse and capped attorney-fee multipliers. Carriers that had exited or were on the brink of insolvency are starting to write new business again, but home rates remain among the highest in the country.
Four factors drive most of the rate variation: ZIP code (theft + claim density), age, vehicle (repair-cost class), and driving record. One at-fault accident typically lifts rates 20-40%.
