Florida Flood Insurance

Even though flood insurance is relatively inexpensive,
most homeowners do not choose to purchase the
insurance protection available. According to the Federal
Insurance Administration, less than one-quarter of the
homes in areas most vulnerable are insured against
flood loss. In those areas, flooding is 24 times more
likely to occur than a fire during the course of a typical
30 year mortgage.

A standard homeowners insurance policy will not cover
damages caused by flooding. You must have flood
insurance from an insurer that writes for the National
Flood Insurance Program. If your community
participates in a floodplain management program, you
should be eligible to buy the coverage no matter if your
flood risk is low, medium or high. Residents of "coastal
barrier areas" and communities that do not participate
in floodplain management programs may have trouble
finding flood insurance coverage. Florida flood
insurance is also available to renters, condominium
owners, and co-op owners.

Flood Perils Include:

Outside of fire, flooding is the most widespread natural disaster. According to
the National Flood Insurance Program, two adjacent properties have to be
under water to call the situation a flood. In a rural area, at least 2 acres must
be submerged.

The two primary types of Florida Flood Insurance Policies are listed below.

Actual Cash Value Policy

The value of property as figured by determining the cost to replace the damaged or
destroyed property and adjusting the replacement value by subtracting an amount
that reflects depreciation. Or in other words, replacement cost minus
depreciation. Homeowners are entitled to a replacement cost value if they live in
their homes at least 80% of the time and have flood insurance coverage for at least
80% of their home's market value.

Commercial and apartment buildings will be covered only for actual cash value.

Replacement Value Policy

The amount it costs to replace or rebuild a damaged property. Replacement cost
coverage is available only for the building portion of a condominium insurance
policy. Owners of single-family homes may be able to buy replacement cost
coverage on the building portions of their flood insurance policies. A Florida flood
insurance replacement value policy will pay only the replacement value up to the
coverage limit. For example, if rebuilding your home will cost $400,000, but you
only purchased $300,000 in coverage, your insurance policy will pay you only
$300,000.
