Frequently Asked Questions

Do new construction homes in Lake Nona need special insurance considerations?

Absolutely. New construction usually qualifies for wind mitigation credits that lower your premium, which is great. But you still need to make sure your dwelling coverage reflects what it would actually cost to rebuild at today's prices, not what you paid. Builder warranties cover some structural stuff for a while, but you need homeowners insurance from day one. And with how fast Lake Nona has been growing, it's worth reviewing your coverage every year.

Is flood insurance required in Lake Nona?

Most of Lake Nona is in FEMA X zones, which means moderate-to-low flood risk. But if you're near Boggy Creek or the lake itself, you might be in an AE zone where flood insurance is required with a mortgage. Even in X zones, we recommend it. Hurricane Ian in 2022 showed that inland flooding can hit areas nobody expected. Private flood policies start around $400 a year, which is solid peace of mind.

What commercial insurance do Medical City businesses need?

Medical City businesses typically need malpractice insurance, general liability, commercial property, cyber liability, and workers comp. If you're handling patient data, cyber coverage is a must. Research facilities and biotech companies also need coverage for expensive equipment and clinical trial liability. We work with carriers that understand healthcare risks.

How do HOA insurance requirements work in Lake Nona?

Lake Nona has a CDD, a master HOA, and a bunch of sub-HOAs, so it can get confusing. Each association needs its own master policy covering common areas, liability, and D&O. As a homeowner, your personal policy needs to work with the HOA's master policy so there are no gaps. We help both boards and individual owners sort it all out.

What is a CDD fee in Lake Nona, and does it affect my insurance?

CDD fees fund the roads, utilities, parks, and stormwater systems in Lake Nona. The fee itself doesn't directly affect your insurance premium, but the drainage infrastructure it pays for can actually help keep your property in a lower-risk flood zone, which could mean lower flood insurance costs.

My Lake Nona home has smart home technology. Can that lower my insurance premium?

Yes! Leak detectors, smart smoke alarms, security cameras, and monitored alarm systems can all get you discounts. A lot of Lake Nona homes already have this stuff built in, so the savings can add up. Monitored security systems usually get the biggest discount, around 5-15% off your premium. Ask us which devices your carrier recognizes.

What professional liability insurance do healthcare providers in Lake Nona Medical City need?

You need malpractice insurance tailored to your specific practice. What a surgeon needs is very different from what a physical therapist needs. The big questions are what procedures you perform, your patient volume, and whether claims-made or occurrence-based coverage makes more sense. Florida doesn't require malpractice insurance by law, but most hospitals and practice groups do, and it's essential for protecting your personal assets.

Are Lake Nona homes built to the latest Florida Building Code easier to insure?

Definitely. Lake Nona homes are built to current code with impact windows, reinforced roof connections, and modern systems. That makes them easier and cheaper to insure than older homes. You'll qualify for the best wind mitigation credits, skip the 4-point inspection, and have more carrier options. It's one of the perks of buying new construction.
