There's Another Issue With USAA That I Now Recall
I'm now remembering that I discovered another issue that lead to USAA not writing any new insurance policies in Florida. It has to do with the building code in Florida, particularly as regards construction standards for high winds and rain. Almost without exception, Florida uses the national building code as the basis for it's local codes.
USAA has decided that it requires a different code, designed for and most common in Texas, where USAA is headquartered. Florida has refused to embrace the Texas code, believing that the national code provides superior constructional integrity and protection against wind and rain. USAA refuses to accept that and that is yet another reason why they won't write insurance in Florida any more.
