Florida’s Insurance Crisis: Why Premiums Keep Rising and What It Means for Homeowners

A new report reveals that Florida’s property insurance market is far from recovering. Despite political claims of stabilization, homeowners are seeing premiums up 54% since 2019, widespread insurer instability, and some companies re‑entering the market under rebranded identities. With high rates of unpaid claims, delayed payouts, and policy non‑renewals, lawmakers are now pushing for transparency and oversight.
