Florida home insurance rates begin to fall after years of dramatic increases | FOX 13 Tampa Bay


Correct.

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation said that the following nine insurance companies have filed for rate reductions:

American Integrity Insurance Co. of Florida
American National Property & Casualty Co.
Florida Peninsula Insurance Co.
Heritage Property & Casualty Co.
Safe Harbor Insurance Co.
Southern Oak Insurance Co.
Spinnaker Insurance Co.
Stillwater Property & Casualty Co.
US Coastal Property & Casualty

Competition will eventually fix this. This is the second year in a row that Spinnaker (my homeowners insurance company) filed for a reduction.

If you offered the Florida Homeowner's Insurance industry one Helene per year (and no other hurricanes) they would jump at that.

Of course, every so often a Hurricane Ian comes around. The third costliest weather disaster on record worldwide.
