Comprehensive or catastrophic ?

Cat ground collapse is automatically covered. You can now get sinkhole coverage

Ummm. Soooo, which is it?

[Gators]

It is the Optional Sinkhole Coverage that you pay an additional premium for.

So if I never collect on my sinkhole insurance, does that mean I have or haven't thrown money down the drain?

NO difference than if your house doesnt burn, did the insurance money spent go up in smoke?

Every time I go by Belvedere I turn into Foghorn.

Yes. Like the OP said, they are back in the market with sinkhole coverage for pre-owned homes in Sumter County.

I wonder if we will see Villages Insurance bring it back, too.

When we bought pre-owned a couple of years ago, we got the catastrophic ground collapse coverage but could not get the additional sinkhole coverage. -- I could never understand why it was avaiable on new homes but not pre-owned buys. But we were interested only in pre-owned homes. It looks like now we can have it. We will be looking into this.

Thank you, OP.

Getting a quote is free. Might be surprised.

FYI: They won't insure if your roof is over 15 years old.

I spoke with them yesterday as I was just curious about it and she said they are offering it now but she did not know for how long as if it might be a temporary window. I worked at a local insurance company doing homeowner's insurance quotes for 3 years when I moved here and I don't remember any company offering to write a sinkhole policy without an inspection on a pre-owned home until now.

We just recently bought a pre owned home. Both sinkhole and mold coverage was included in our homeowner's insurance from ASI, through AAA.

Thank you for letting us know this. I will check with AAA, too.
