The local market

Insurance in Broward County, Florida

Florida is the most distinctive property market in the country. Hurricane deductibles are percentage-based and separate from the all-other-perils deductible, roof age drives eligibility more than any other single factor, and Citizens operates as a large residual market rather than a marginal one. On the auto side Florida is a no-fault state that does not require bodily injury liability from most drivers, which makes uninsured motorist coverage the single most consequential option on the quote.

Exposure

What drives claims here

These shape pricing, deductible structure and carrier appetite in Broward County, Florida and the rest of Florida. Several are excluded from a standard homeowners policy and have to be written separately.

  • hurricane
  • flood
  • sinkhole
  • severe thunderstorm

Last resort

If the standard market will not write you

Florida operates a residual market plan for risks private carriers decline. These are a last resort — usually narrower coverage at a higher price — but they exist so a property is not left uninsured.

Recourse

If something goes wrong with an insurer

Complaints about a carrier or an agent go to the Florida Department of Financial Services — Division of Consumer Services . It regulates every insurer and producer licensed in the state, and filing a complaint is free.

You can also check whether an agent is properly licensed there before you buy — something worth doing regardless of where you found them.
