Storms are a yearly occurance and are budgeted for accordinly. However antifa, blm and riots are not. Billions and billions of $ in looting, burning and destruction of property are not. I expect much higher insurance bills. And if, as promised, out taxes will also go up.

I have American Integrity and just received my new invoice. It went up over $700 a year with no claims ever. What the Hell? I called several other insurance co. , including Progressive, and they are not writing new policies, or they want your auto insurance. I am not changing auto ins. companies. I called AAA, since I have been a member for years. They asked me about bundling my auto, which I did not want, and they never called me back with a quote. Any advice?

I about fainted when I opened my bill! Last year I paid $1136.00. This year my bill is $2162.00! And no, I didn’t get a new roof. Needless to say I changed companies and got the same rate as last year.

My first annual, September renewal was 36% higher with no claims filed. I was told by my insurance agent that most of my increase was due to all the new roofs that were done in the last 1-2 yrs. In essence, we all pay for others' new roofs when it is done through their homeowners insurance.

You may be correct. But, if were in charge of an insurance company, I would deny roof damage claims, unless there was convincing evidence that the damage was caused by a weather event. I certainly wouldn't be bullied by a roofing company or their lawyers. I asked my agent about this roof situation, and they said that they always have their own adjuster inspect the roof and approve the claims, regardless of what the roofer says. But, who knows?

Insurance
I had been with American Integrity insurance for a few years, and last year my bill was $605. This year it was $1178, so I shopped around and changed to Farmers Insurance, for about $400 less.

Try Farmers

I might add that calling the insurance broker of The Villages was not very helpful. They came up with a plan that was a couple hundred dollars cheaper than AIG's $1350 rate but had a $5000 deductible! Then they had another plan that was not very much less than AIG's $1350 that they wanted to raise us to. I don't know if they are limited as to who they can quote, but I suggest getting on the phone or online and scouting insurance companies out on your own. That's how we found Farmer's.

Yikes, just got the bill for my homeowners from American Integrity. Went up 58% from last year and is up a total of 109% from 3 years ago, and I have never in my life filed a homeowners claim on any of the 5 homes I have owned. Can anyone who has changed to either Farmers or Progressive, not using The Villages Insurance, please provide me with the contact information they used to change their policy. Did you use an independent agent or contact the Insurer directly? Thanks, Chris

I did a search online for homeowners insurance for 32162. I had the declarations page from American Integrity so I could be sure to get the same coverage. I think it went out to brokers, but actually, Dominick from Farmers' in Clermont called me. We walked through the declarations and that of our auto insurance which had been with Allstate. AIG wanted $1350, up from $735. Farmers' quoted $880. When I bundled the auto in with it, it came down to $800. And the auto insurance ended up being cheaper than Allstate for the exact coverage. I have since learned that there is a Farmers' office in either Leesburg or Fruitport, so if you want to talk to someone in person, do a search for that.
Progressive and Geico wouldn't quote us, saying they wouldn't provide us coverage in our area. Our credit rating is Excellent, so I don't know if those two just don't insure here, or what the deal is with them.
