I just need to vent on this. I just got my home insurance bill and boy did I get some serious sticker shock! Up $1000 from last year. That's on top of a $600 increase from the year before. And that's only for condo insurance. The building structure is insured by the condo association so I'm only insuring the interior of my unit. My bill is higher now than when I owned a house. I feel sorry for those who own houses in Florida. Many insurers actually decreased their exposure in Florida or pulled out of the state altogether. I heard Florida now has the highest rates in the country. Despite cries from everywhere, Gov. DeSantis and the Fla legislature are doing nothing about the problem!
I know Florida is an easy target for hurricanes that come across the Atlantic, but windstorm is actually the least peril I'm worried about. I live on the ground floor of a 4 story building that just got a new roof a couple of years ago. I had hurricane proof doors and windows installed shortly after I bought the condo.
I had a claim a few years ago when a pipe burst under the dishwasher and flooded the kitchen and hallway causing damage to the cabinets and floors. I worry about this sort of claim as well as fire than windstorm damage which I feel I'm fairly well protected from. I'm seriously considering self-insuring rather than paying these insane premiums.
