I think I do from reading the laws in Florida but that doesn't seem to be what most people think.
If I'm correct, your exposure isn't as great if you drop it because you're still covered for catastrophy. Of course, I only think I understand this. If it was my house I'd never listen to an idiot like me,  Good luck. |
A sinkhole on your property that doesn't effect the home itself could cost tens of thousands of dollars to fill. This happened within the past year in Sunset Point.
If the increase were $5000 per year you might think about self-insuring, but for less than $20 per month it would be foolish to lose the insurance.
