I'd ask my insurance agent, but doubt it.

well I've been on the realtors site for well over a year looking at homes on the village site and others, which I'm very happy to say I just sold my house and in about four weeks I'll be down to purchase a home.
but getting back to the sinkhole coverage on one of the listing after going into detail about the house the last paragraph read

home has lifetime sinkhole coverage

this is on a pre-owned home your thoughts

No company in Florida guarantees lifetime sinkhole insurance.

??? Perhaps the house had previous sinkhole damage and was reinforced/repaired/pier'd and the sinkhole abatement company provides a lifetime guarantee???? I don't think any insurance company would offer that, most are discontinuing coverage except for catastrophic coverage.

My guess is no.
But the location of old sink holes is part of the insurance process so you need the address of the property.
