Yet behind the postcard image lies a growing problem: an alarming number of alarming number of uninsured homes.

Recent data show that approximately 15% of homes do not have Florida property coverage, leaving many homeowners vulnerable to financial hardship when disaster strikes.

Why Are So Many Homes Without Florida Property Coverage?

The main cause of this crisis stems is the soaring cost of home insurance, which has made coverage unaffordable for many Florida residents.

Over the past several years, Florida’s property insurance market has been destabilized by roof-claim abuse and excessive litigation. These practices have driven insurers’ costs and premiums - sky-high.

In 2023, Florida lawmakers passed reforms aimed at reducing frivolous lawsuits and curbing fraud, but the backlog of existing claims will take time to resolve and continues to impact premiums.

As a result, many homeowners have reluctantly gone without insurance, leaving their homes and belongings at risk from hurricanes, fires, and other perils.
