If you're near East Lake Tohopekaliga or in a FEMA-designated flood zone, absolutely. Standard homeowners insurance doesn't cover flood damage at all. Even if you're not in a high-risk zone, flood insurance through NFIP averages just $865 per year and can save you tens of thousands if heavy rains cause water damage. Check FEMA's flood maps for your specific address.
Florida ranks third-highest nationally due to several factors: high rates of uninsured drivers, frequent severe weather that causes accidents, and Florida's no-fault insurance system that requires PIP coverage. The state also has high litigation costs. While rates dropped 9% in 2025 thanks to reforms, full coverage still averages around $3,229 annually.
Captive agents represent one company (like State Farm or Allstate) and can only sell that company's products. Independent agents represent multiple insurance carriers and can shop rates across 5-10 different companies to find you the best deal. In Florida's volatile market, having access to multiple carriers gives you more options if one insurer raises rates or stops writing new policies.
Renters insurance typically costs $15-30 per month in Saint Cloud for $30,000 in personal property coverage and $100,000 in liability protection. That's about $180-360 annually. Many landlords now require renters insurance as a lease condition, and it's affordable protection for your belongings and liability exposure.
This depends on your financial situation and risk tolerance. A 5% deductible on a $383,000 home means you'd pay $19,150 out of pocket before insurance kicks in after a hurricane—but your premium will be lower. A 2% deductible means $7,660 out of pocket with higher premiums. Most financial advisors recommend the lower deductible unless you have substantial emergency savings.
This is increasingly difficult in Florida. Many insurers now refuse to write policies for roofs over 15-20 years old, or they require a roof inspection certificate. Some will offer coverage but exclude roof damage from storms. If your roof is aging, plan for replacement before shopping for insurance—a new roof can actually reduce your premium through discounts and make you eligible for more carriers.
