JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida is in the middle of what many are calling a home insurance crisis.

Florida homeowners pay the most for home insurance, with an average annual rate of $10,996 in 2023, considerably more than America’s average rate of $2,377.

According to reports, average home insurance premium renewals rose 68% in Florida, the fastest increase in the country in the past two years. It also found that with $2.9 trillion in property exposure, Florida is the most at-risk state for catastrophic property damage from storms.
