Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need flood insurance in Weston FL if I am not near the ocean?
Weston is not on the coast, but it sits next to the Everglades with lakes and canals throughout, and heavy rain can overwhelm drainage quickly. FEMA reports that almost one-third of NFIP flood claims from 2014 to 2024 came from outside high-risk flood areas. Your homeowners policy will not cover flood damage, so you need a separate flood policy.
How does FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 affect flood insurance in Weston?
Risk Rating 2.0 means FEMA now prices your flood insurance based on your specific property — elevation, distance to the nearest lake or canal, building type, and flood history. Some Weston homeowners saw rates change under the new system. Private flood carriers are worth looking at since they can sometimes offer better rates and higher limits.
What is the average cost of homeowners insurance in Weston FL?
There is no single number. Citizens' approved 2026 HO-3 rates fell 14.1% in Broward County effective July 1, 2026, and private carriers are competing below Citizens for newer homes. Roof age and the wind-mitigation report move a Weston quote, and homes built to the post-2002 Florida Building Code usually qualify for the credits Florida requires insurers to file.
Does the 15-year roof rule apply to my Weston home insurance?
Under FS 627.7011(5), an insurer may not refuse a homeowners policy solely because the roof is under 15 years old. At 15 or older you may pay for an inspection, and a roof with five or more years of useful life cannot be refused for age alone. Most Weston homes were built between 1990 and 2010.
What HOA insurance is required for Weston communities like Weston Hills and Savanna?
Communities like Weston Hills, Savanna, The Ridges and Bonaventure typically carry property insurance on common areas, general liability and D&O coverage, and Florida law requires insurance or a fidelity bond for the people who handle association funds (FS 720.3033). Reserves depend on the governing documents and owner votes. You still need your own HO-3 policy.
What is the hurricane deductible on my Weston homeowners policy?
In Florida, hurricane deductibles are a percentage of your dwelling coverage, usually 2% to 10%. On a $600,000 Weston home, a 2% deductible means $12,000 out of pocket for hurricane damage. A 5% deductible would be $30,000. Higher percentage means lower premium but more out of pocket when a storm hits. We help you find the right balance.
Do I need umbrella insurance as a Weston homeowner?
Yes, if you have a pool, a sports court or teenage drivers. A personal umbrella adds $1 million or more above the homeowners policy's liability limit. Florida's auto floor is only 10/20/10 (FS 324.021), a negligence plaintiff has two years to file (FS 95.11(5)(a)), and Broward County recorded 38,338 crashes in 2024.
Can I bundle my Weston home and auto insurance to save money?
Often, yes. Many carriers discount a home and auto placed together, and the amount depends on the carrier. We compare bundled and separate quotes from 40+ carriers, because the cheapest bundle is not always the best coverage. We also look at umbrella policies that extend your liability limits across both home and auto.
