Florida Flood Insurance: By Floridians, For Floridians.

What is flood insurance? Whether you're native or a new resident, you are likely familiar with the temperamental weather and hurricane-prone climate of the Sunshine State. It only takes a few inches of water to rack up tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage. Shield your home with a flood insurance policy to avoid economic disaster when storms strike.

Am I Required to Buy Flood Insurance in Florida?

If you live in a high-risk flood zone in Florida, you will be required by law to purchase a flood insurance policy.

If you don't happen to live in a high-risk area, that doesn't necessarily mean you are in the clear. It is still highly advisable to purchase a minimum flood policy.

Natural disasters, flash floods, and even new construction projects that change how water drains could potentially damage your property and wreak economic havoc on your home. Talk to a GreatFlorida agent to get an affordable flood insurance policy today.
