Property Coverage
Homeowners insurance helps pay to repair or rebuild your
home and replace personal possessions lost due to theft,
fire or other disasters such as storms. Although Florida
law does not require homeowners insurance, some cities and
counties require liability coverage if you own certain pets
or a swimming pool. Liability coverage pays for non-automobile-related
injuries to other people, or damage to their property, for
which you are legally responsible.
For mortgaged homes, the lending institution will require
full insurance coverage on the structure, including flood
(if located in special zone), fire, liability, windstorm,
etc. Some developments and subdivisions may also require
insurance.
