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.

A few state-specific dynamics worth knowing:

Florida auto insurance — what affects your rate

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.

The four factors that drive your specific rate the most: ZIP code (theft + claim density), age (under 25 and over 70 pay materially more), vehicle (repair-cost class and theft rate), and driving record (one at-fault accident or moving violation typically lifts a rate 20-40%).

Minimum auto insurance required in Florida

$10,000 PIP (no-fault medical) / $10,000 property damage. Florida is unusual in that it does not require bodily-injury liability — though most lenders and prudent drivers carry it anyway.
