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.

Renters insurance is the cheapest line of personal insurance — typically $12-25/mo for $30K personal property + $100K liability. The factor that varies most is the building itself (high-rise, sprinklered, low-crime ZIP) and any specialty-item scheduling (jewelry, electronics, instruments over standard sub-limits).
