Frequently Asked Questions

Why is homeowners insurance in Boca Raton more expensive than inland Florida cities?

It comes down to being right on the Atlantic. Carriers look at wind exposure, storm surge risk, and how much it would cost to rebuild your home. East Boca and older homes without wind mitigation features pay the most. West Boca homes built to newer codes tend to get better rates. That's why working with an independent broker who can compare 40+ carriers makes such a difference.

Do I need flood insurance in Boca Raton FL?

We recommend it for pretty much every Boca homeowner. If you're east of the Intracoastal in a high-risk flood zone, your lender will require it. But even in West Boca, heavy rain, canal overflow, and drainage issues can cause flooding. Your homeowners policy won't cover flood damage — period. A separate flood policy is the only way to be protected.

What is the hurricane deductible on Boca Raton homeowners insurance?

In Florida, hurricane deductibles are a percentage of your dwelling coverage — usually 2% to 10%. On a $900,000 Boca home, a 2% deductible means $18,000 out of pocket. For luxury homes with higher limits, that number gets big fast. A higher percentage saves you on premium but means more out of pocket when a storm hits. We help you find the right balance.

What insurance does my Boca Raton condo association need?

Florida law requires property insurance covering the full value of association property, general liability, fidelity bonding, and workers comp if you have employees. The 2022 reforms added structural inspection requirements for buildings three stories or taller and stricter reserve funding rules. This is a big deal for Boca's many oceanfront and Intracoastal condo buildings.

How does the Florida 15-year roof rule affect my Boca Raton home insurance?

Carriers can't refuse to insure you just because your roof is over 15 years old, as long as it passes inspection. But many will only offer actual cash value instead of replacement cost for older roofs. Boca's salt air, UV, and wind are tough on roofs. Upgrading to impact-resistant materials can really cut your premium and open up more carrier options.

What commercial insurance do Boca Raton businesses need?

At minimum, you need commercial property with wind coverage, general liability, and business interruption insurance. Whether you're a tech company at the Innovation Campus, a medical practice, or a shop at Mizner Park, your coverage needs to match your specific business and location. We build a program around your industry, size, and risks.

Can I get wind-only insurance for my Boca Raton oceanfront property?

Yes. If a private carrier's rates are too high because of your coastal location, Citizens offers wind-only policies. You'd pair that with an ex-wind policy from a private carrier that covers everything except wind and hurricane damage. This split approach is pretty common for oceanfront properties in Boca where wind exposure is the main cost driver.

What is the average cost of homeowners insurance in Boca Raton FL?

Most Boca homeowners pay somewhere between $3,500 and $12,000 a year, though oceanfront and luxury homes can be higher. The biggest factors are location (east vs. west Boca), construction type, roof age, wind mitigation features, and coverage limits. Newer homes in communities like Boca Falls and Saturnia usually get better rates. We compare 40+ carriers to find the best deal for your specific home.
