Homeowners in Myrtle Beach typically pay $2,500-$4,000 annually, about 50% higher than South Carolina's state average due to hurricane and coastal flood risks. Your actual cost depends on your home's location, age, construction type, roof condition, and distance from the ocean. Homes closer to the beach and those without wind mitigation features pay significantly more.
Yes, flood insurance is essential throughout Myrtle Beach, not just for oceanfront properties. Much of the area sits in FEMA flood zones where lenders require coverage, and hurricane storm surge can push water miles inland. Heavy rainfall also overwhelms drainage systems. At $700-$1,000 annually through NFIP, flood insurance is relatively affordable protection against a devastating financial loss.
A wind deductible is a percentage of your home's insured value (typically 2-5%) that you pay out of pocket for wind or hail damage before insurance coverage applies. For a $300,000 home with a 3% wind deductible, you'd pay the first $9,000 of hurricane damage yourself. This is separate from and higher than your standard deductible for other perils like fire or theft.
Absolutely. Hurricane shutters, impact-resistant windows, reinforced roof connections, and fortified roofing can reduce your premiums by 15-30% annually through wind mitigation discounts. A professional inspection documenting these features provides proof to insurers. Given Myrtle Beach's high premiums, these savings often amount to hundreds or thousands of dollars per year.
The South Carolina Wind and Hail Underwriting Association is a state-created insurer of last resort that provides wind coverage when standard insurance companies won't. It's more expensive and has separate deductibles for dwelling, contents, and waiting periods, but it ensures coastal homeowners can obtain necessary wind protection even in the highest-risk areas.
Your homeowners policy covers wind and rain damage from hurricanes, but typically with a high percentage-based deductible (2-5% of your home's value). However, flood damage from storm surge or heavy rainfall is NOT covered—you need a separate flood insurance policy through NFIP or a private insurer. This dual-coverage approach is essential for complete hurricane protection in Myrtle Beach.
